Actually entertaining, 14 March 2004
Author: Wayne Malin (wwaayynnee51@hotmail.com) from United States

Part of MGM's "Crime Does Not Pay" series of the 1940s--they were all short films (about 20-25 minutes) showing crimes and how the criminal was brought to justice by police work. This one, obviously, deals with a hit and run driver. Driving drunk one night he accidentally hits two people and drives off leaving them to die. There are no witnesses and the two victims are in comas. We see very quickly, yet realistically, how the police gather enough evidence to identify the man and get him. Well-done on no budget with some very good acting from a no name cast. Worth seeing. You'll probably only see this between movies on TCM but it's worth catching. They have a great print and it's very interesting.
