The Racket Man

B Star Tough Tom Neal (in lifts) in another entertaining programmer. Former Prizefighter Neal made a lot more headlines for his offscreen activities involving Barbara Payton than any film he was ever in. Pugnacious Tom couldn't have been any taller than 5'4 and he was almost looking six footer Hugh Beaumont in the eye here so that tells you he was wearing might high lifts inside those heels. WWII era programmer quickie here - probably shot in 4 or 5 days - that also featured former "Batman" Lewis Wilson as an Army Officer (I guess the Batman serial bombed (it was really bad) so he was stuck bumping along with these other performers of the genre. What the heck, take a look if you are a Tom Neal fan - (always looked like a mini Clark Gable with that mustache) and you will get a kick out of it. I am a big fan of Neal's so I give it 7 stars.
