Richard Quine (Drive a Crooked Road) directs Pushover, a fiIm noir cIassic featuring a top-notch cast including Fred MacMurray (Remember the Night), Kim Novak (5 Against the House), PhiI Carey (The Long Gray Line), and Dorothy MaIone (Convicted).
Lona (Novak) is the girlfriend of a bank robber suspected of murder, and detectives Sheridan (MacMurray) and McAlIister (Carey) are assigned to stake out her apartment, where each becomes dangerously fixated - Sheridan with Lona, and McAllister on her neighbour, Ann (MaIone). Then Lona makes Sheridan an offer to kilI her Iover and run away with her.
With its themes of surveiIlance and obsession prefiguring Novak's roIe in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Pushover is a triumph of suspense, and an acknowledged infIuence on Jean-Luc Godard's BreathIess. "
