A great little heist/noir flick tonight. A down on his luck nobody (John Payne) is implicated in an armored truck heist and, after being worked over by the local police who are sure he's guilty, sets out to find who set him up and why. The truth behind it all might be a lot deeper and more dangerous than even he thinks, however...
Co-starring Colleen Gray, and a perfect trio of heavies in Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef, and Jack Elam.

Lee Van Cleef may have been underrated by the industry but he had many fans...and staying power.
A wonderful career.
And oh,those eyes !!!!!!!!!!!
.
For later
Any flick with Jack Elam in it will draw my attention. Lee Van Cleef is an added bonus.
“And oh,those eyes !!!!!!!!!!!”
He came by the name “Angel Eyes” in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for good reason, I reckon. :-)
Bookmarked to watch.
Not long ago I watched “Hatful of Rain”. B+.
Excellent Movie! Watched it a while back, was very impressed. good story, great acting.
I just recently discovered all the old movies on YouTube, and am really geeking out on them. Music of all kinds, and even audio books of novels. What a resource!
