Valutazione di revtg001
A moonshine movie is a moonshine movie. Everybody did one. Robert Mitchum. James Stewart. Richard Widmark. This one is a non-stop action piece of fluff. Really good light entertainment. Ralph Meeker is so relaxed in his role as the pin-up poster boy for moonshiners everywhere you can almost believe it. And Cliff Osmend, great actor and screen writer, plays his usual light comedy big dumb oaf. All the rest of the cast, except for Fabien, were unknown at the time.
Agent George answers his car phone (mark of a really important man back then) and his hot date is interrupted by an urgent call. He has to move now to break up a big moonshine syndicate. He recruits 8 guys doing hard time. Their reward, lots of time off. They set up a military style training camp, become commandos, infiltrate Meeker's gang and locate the down home whiskey world. Instead of a chase scene they invade with firebombs, hand grenades, sub-machine guns and much macho heroism. Many die. Truth, justice and the American way are made safe for the bonded whiskey warehouses. Fun to watch. A six-pack helps. Fun to watch a second time. Like an old western with many saloon me-lees.

You can call in Film Noir. I refer to it as a "downer" movie that grabs you early and doesn't let go. It is original and timeless. It could be shown twenty years from now and called a "period piece." The cast is as good as casts got back then. Timothy Carey is superb, as usual. (See him in "One Eyed Jacks" and "Paths of Glory.") A career criminal, dower and stern Sterling Hayden, plans an intricate robbery of a California race track. His plan is flawless. The character who plays Marie Windsor's henpecked hubby, Elisha Cook, tries to quiet her harping by bragging about the upcoming caper. She tells her lover who tries to hijack the loot. But what brings Hayden down right at the edge of his getaway are a yapping, runaway dog and a cheap suitcase. Spectacular ending. Don't swallow any downer pills while watching this. It could bring on a serious overdose. A movie you won't forget and will recommend to friends.
