Nice little film with Stevens getting more nervous as the film progresses. But Wesley Addy (Bruckner) remains a highlight for me. Cool and about to burst in KISS ME DEADLY, roughly 20 years later he maintains his condescending delivery as a Federal Agent on an episode of, THE ROCKFORD FILES.
Milburn Drysdale is Stevens boss.
