    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The narrator almost always refers to Mamie Van Doren's character by her full name, "Vi Victor," and never just "Vi" as some of the other characters do. Possibly this is for clarity; it could also be a reference to the old Latin saying, "Vae victis" ("woe to the conquered"). When Vi is checking in to the Stage Coach Inn the narrator uses just her first name only when stating why Vi needed a cabin close to the front by the road so she would have an unobstructed view of the garage.
    • Goofs
      After the shoot out, the police enter the garage and arrest Vi who is in the garage. They would have no idea what her involvement was or if she was involved at all with the crime. Her presence there alone wouldn't make her guilty of anything.
    • Quotes

      Vi Victor: You wanna examine the merchandise Wheeler, do it out front with the rest of the customers.

    guns, girls, gangsters and much excitement
    I watch this movie every two years. It's a great classic grade B thriller, perhaps the greatest of the 50's; and the best picture shot by Edward L Cahn. The director usually gives us sleepy flicks, always built on the same frame, except his first ones, the 30's ones, as "Law and order". He lost his soul during the 50's and early 60's, till his death.

    A little masterpiece. Mamie Van Doren, Lee Van Cleef contribute much for it.

    A fast paced and pretty shot little thriller. If you are a caper movie lover as I am, DON'T MISS IT.

    I would put it on the same scale as "Plunder Road".
