BRIAN
DONLEVY An
undercover detective (Brian Donlevy) is put in prison to
pass himself off as Red, a gangster that robbed a bank, in hopes
of finding out who assisted Red and where the money has been hidden.
Everything is going just fine until Red's sister comes to visit him. Since the real Red is actually dead, the police have to involve the sister in the scheme to keep the other inmates from getting wise to the real identity of the detective. A jail break with the inmate that says he knows where the money has been stashed seems to be going fine until it's discover that the "Red" they think is a fellow crook is really an undercover agent. This small film is typical of the gangster-type movies of its day but it has a good enough script to keep you interested. Not available on video or DVD, keep your eyes peeled for it playing on classic movie channels like Turner Classic Movies or American Movie Classics ... and set your VCR as it's a keeper for any Brian Donlevy fan or for those that just love the old campy cop films. ©
