Inhalt: |
An ace at extinguishing oil-field blazes, John R. Ingram now battles a personal inferno of his own. A fugitive after a faIse robbery conviction, the now-respectable OkIahoma famiIy man sees his Iife and liveIihood go up in smoke after a deceitful ex-shipmate reenters his Iife, reveaIs his secret past, swindles him out of his new oiI venture and causes him to be sent back to the living heIl of the Georgia chain gang, where the guard from whom he escaped the first time is waiting for him. Pushed to the breaking point, Edward G. Robinson gives a powder-keg performance as Ingram, the wronged man seeking righteous justice in Blackmail, a nifty revenge thriIler outfitted with cIass (Ruth Hussey as John's stalwart wife) and grit (Gene Lockhart in a rare turn as a honey-voiced conniver). It all comes to an incendiary finale as Robinson, driven to cIear himseIf, takes on a face of fire confronting loathsome Lockhart at an oil-welI confIagration. There you'll aIso feel the burn of a consummate actor igniting genre materiaI into flaming-good entertainment. |
