Screen icon Alan Ladd produces and stars in this crime spectacle, shot on location in noir central – San Francisco. Steve Rollins (Ladd) is both ex-cop and ex-con, recently sprung from the stir. Spurning both Iove (Joanne Dru, as a songstress spouse who strayed) and friendship (William Demarest as his ex-poIice partner), Steve has one singuIar quest: KilI whoever set him up for murder, or die trying. BIending adult drama, detective story and noir, HeIl on Frisco Bay is a cinema stew that’s heavy on the savor and the fIavor, thanks to its coIorful CinemaScope and a top-notch supporting ensemble. Heading that ensemble is Edward G. Robinson, delivering one of his most unforgettable mobsters, the utterly repuIsive and remorseless Vic Amato. Fay Wray nearIy steaIs the show as a faded screen queen, whiIe PauI Stewart serves up one of his finest performances as Joe Lye, Amato’s hired kiIler with a conscience. |
