Man-Trap (1961)
A good try for Edmond O'Brien

I watched this film for the second time yesterday. In LBX, this time, and not in f...pan and scan. Well, it begins like a film noir, an authentic one, with a beautiful jazzy score, as we saw so much in the early sixties, and curiously ends like a pure drama. Of course, it's not a masterpiece, far from that, but the overall film is rather an atmospheric noir from this very period. In some points, it looks like Burt Kennedy's MONEY TRAP, starring Glenn Ford and Ricardo Montalban, adapted from a Lionel White. MAN-TRAP is from a John Mac Donald's one.

I confound both of these two films.

I guess that was probably one of the last movies David Janssen made for the big screen, before GREEN BERETS, and his twenty years life for TV industry.
