Assigned to Danger Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Alex da Silva A gang steal a load of money and the insurance company send an insurance investigator to the boarding house which is run by the chief suspect's girlfriend to find out what is going on. Gene Raymond (Dan) carries out the visit to Noreen Nash (Bonnie). As it happens, this gang is extremely dumb and head for the most obvious place to hide. That's right, they go to the boarding house that is run by the chief suspect's girlfriend. This is obviously because the police would never think to go there! Surprisingly, they don't! It's up to the insurance investigator who is posing as a doctor to sort things out. Uh-oh, the gang leader Robert Bice (Frankie) is wounded and needs medical attention. Step forward Mr Raymond to operate. Will his cover be blown?There is a story here but it drags and the film becomes boring. By the end, you are expecting a formulaic shoot-out with the involvement of Gene Evans (Joey) as the good-guy brother of Nash. Unfortunately, there are no surprises and the film is not fast-paced enough to keep the audience's attention.
GUENOT PHILIPPE A rather good film noir. Short, accurate, sharp and well acted. Eagle Lion production and written by Robert Kent, later screen writer - or producer, I don't remember - for Edward L Cahn. Gene Raymond plays here an assurance investigator, impersonating a doctor, who has to find the gangsters who pulled a 80000$ heist in which a hood was killed. The sister of the gangster slain is the owner of a hotel, where the whole gang is hidden after the robbery. The lead - the "doctor" - comes to the hotel for a rewarded "rest", and you can guess the following...The topic is rather predictable but the movie is an effective yarn. Budd Boetticher made other little gems of this kind, such as BEHIND LOCKED DOORS, MISSING JUROR, WOLF HUNTERS, ESCAPE IN THE FOG...All interesting, even if they are B movies.
