Notes: Warners crime drama that was not quite a B-flick but served such a purpose in Melbourne. For a film that never held a single top-billing it still cracked the 100 EF point mark, due to enjoying the slipstream of quality playdates (weeks and Saturdays) booked for Yellow Sky which it regularly supported.
