who can you trust in this one?

Some huge names in this: Fred MacMurray, Claire Trevor, Ray Burr. Fred and the feds are trying to catch the bad guys bringing drugs over the border. Claire Trevor is a police officer who offers to help out by going undercover. but they don't know the other is undercover, the good guys! Ray Burr is the bad guy, as usual. it's a bit of a dra-medy, with some silly scenes here and there. after some drama, they get away in an airplane, and show up at the meeting place. keep an eye out for charles lane, in his usual uncredited role. has about two lines. for a while, he held the record for the most roles in films. directed by Bill Seiter. he made only a couple more films, then moved into television. this one is a light and fun caper... not too serious. comedies were a specialty of Seiter. check out the actors he worked with at wikipedia dot com! this one is good -- just when you think it's over, it goes another ten minutes. after a huge, long career as a film star, MacMurray will be Dad on My Three Sons.
