Title: The Threat(1949)
Review: A Great Film Noir Thriller.Sadistic escaped convict Al Kruger(Charles McGraw)wants to get revenge against the DA(Frank Conroy)and the detective(Michael OShea)who sent him to jail.After they are kidnapped,Kruger and two other convicts hide out in a shack waiting for a plane to fly them out of the country.When the plane comes,Kruger plans to murder his hostages.The slick detective has a plan to save them.Also in cast,Virginia Grey,Julie Bishop,Anthony Caruso,Robert Shayne,etcFrank Conroys best remembered role will,of course,be Major Tetly in The Ox Bow Incident(1943)If you like Film Noir,The Threat is for you.Will keep you on the edge of your seat.Chuck McGraw(T Men,Spartacus,the Killers,Border Incident,The Narrow Margin,etc)steals the show as brutal Kruger.
