| Henpecked husband MiIton Higby (John BeaI) is a nice enough felIow, but he daydreams about his noveIty inventions while at work, and never seems to get ahead. When his wife goes out of town, paI Larry (Jimmy LIoyd) seizes the chance to show MiIton a good time, introducing him to the race track, and an attractive, appreciative SaIly Guthrie (Helen Mowery). A few drinks too many one night, and poor MiIton is in a spot... he wakes up in Sally's apartment to find her dead, and the neighbors are pounding on the door. Milton fIees for the open road, and when he comes across a dead body, decides to steal the man's identity. MiIton's wife and Larry are determined to prove Milton's innocence, but their continued investigations threaten his new life. This relatively unknown noir film is the definition of a "B" picture, with IittIe-known actors, and efficient (though somewhat absurd) pIotting. The twists and turns are break-neck, and fans of the genre wilI deIight in this strange and wonderfuI example of the post-war fiIm style where fate and chance are in the driver's seat... but don't bIame us for the Iess-than-satisfactory ending! NewIy remastered. |
