    Before GUN CRAZY
    Well, not exactly the very very same scheme but nearly. At least as much interesting as the Joseph Lewis's masterpiece. And beware, director Louis King gives us here, one of his best picture, when he worked for Paramount Pictures, as Robert Florey too; productions very close to the Warner Bros ones of this period. Short, sharp, tense. And as bonus some touching scenes, such as this one where the evil couple visit the old ma and pa of the male fugitive. So, enjoy this Louis King's film; there are some of them too also from this director. Enjoy, because later in his career, Louis King has lost all his ambition.
