"There's Never Been a Gal Like Sal From Texas Valley!"

the_old_roman

Tight police drama with D.A. Edward G. Robinson trying to protect witness Ginger Rogers from the clutches of evil crime lord Lorne Greene.  Rogers and Robinson are both marvelously vulnerable beneath their complementary tough exteriors.  The direction is tense throughout.  The film makes excellent use of its claustrophobic environs.  Brian Keith is also very good as a tough cop.

score 9/10
