An old-fashioned thriller with American Keith Andes as an American ship's officer mixed up with fashion models and scoundrels like Michael Gough and Edwin Richfield. Entertaining if implausible. And when does the First Mate of a merchant ship (oil tanker?) leave the ship on arrival in port? Never in my experience, they have work to do.
One thing leads to another might be an apt description of this film. Bank clerk, bus stop, trolley bus, magistrates court, newspaper reporter, blackmail, and so on, eventually ending up at the bus stop again. Nice to see all those old favourite actors again. Incidentally the music used in the opening and closing credits is 'Automation' by Dutch composer Hugo de Groot which was also used in the 1950s BBC TV police series 'Fabian of the Yard'.
I enjoyed this little-known Alan Ladd picture. I liked the locations too, whether shot in Gary, Indiana or not, I don't know;
Incidentally, I thought the actor who played the cop putting out an All Points Bulletin looked like Jimmy Little from the Phil Silvers Show where he played Sergeant. Grover.
