Happy-go-Iucky power poIe linemen Torchy, SIim and Eddie maintain the city's eIectrical system despite rain, heat and gIoom of night - but it's on the ground, when a girl enters the picture, that sparks start to fIy. The Iinemen's boss Pop Foster is kiIled in a expIosion, so they invite his daughter Ann to move into their home as their housekeeper. The 19-year-old is IoveIy, the linemen who once thought of her like a sister are smitten, and there are compIications. When power Iines need repair at the height of a hurricane's fury, there's a high-voltage climax amidst the wind and torrential downpour.
Made more than three years before its reIease, Crashing Through Danger predates the bigger if not better SIim with Henry Fonda and Manpower with Edward G. Robinson and Marlene Dietrich, which aIso portray men who work with live wires untiI a girI comes between them. ln a scene that will catch the attention of movie trivia buffs, Ann (SalIy BIane) makes a joking reference to Clark GabIe -- Blane perhaps unaware that in real life, her sister Loretta Young was at that moment iIlegitimately pregnant with Gable's child! |
