SYNOPSIS:
Armored Car Robbery (1950, 68 min.)
Richard Fleischer directs this brute-force milestone about a deadly heist and the battle of wits and firepower between a fugitive gangster (William Talman) and his stripper moll (Adele Jergens) and a bulldog cop (Charles McGraw), out to avenge his partner’s death, who uses hidden microphones, lab work and his own well-honed instincts to close the net.
Crime in the Streets (1956, 91 min.)
Following a turf rumble with a rival group, a street gang leader (John Cassavetes) tells his gang to do what they’ve never done before: kill a snitch. Reginald Rose wrote and Don Siegel directs a jazz-riffing screen version of a tale first seen on TV and co-starring James Whitmore and Sal Mineo. 1.77:1 Aspect Ratio.

 | Robert S. | | ARMORED CAR ROBBERY is an ultimate in my heist film lists, and it stars the Who's-Who of character actors: William Talman, Charles McGraw, Gene Evans, Steve Brodie. |
|  | Evan | ARMORED CAR ROBBERY is one of the best examples of crime noir of the 50s! Excellent cast, tight pacing, excellent characterizations and a plot to keep you on the edge of your seat!
I didn't like CRIME IN THE STREETS, however. Juvenile gang crime pictures never resonated with me growing up in that era.
They are just too cynical and depressing for my tastes.
The difference is: juvenile crime movies are just teens out of control, film noir crime movies are adults with agendas and intrigue--therein is the dividing line. |
