Cry Danger is a 1951 film noir thriller shot in 22 days in Los Angeles, including the Bunker Hill section of the city.
[edit] Plot
Dick Powell plays bookie Rocky Mulloy, who was sentenced to life in prison for a robbery and murder that he didn't commit. He's released five years later when a witness appears and provides an alabi. Rocky then sets out to find who framed him, hoping that by uncovering the actual criminals he'll be able to free his friend Danny Morgan, also accused of the same crime.
[edit] Critical reaction
Most reviews for the film are positive. Time Out's film review says of Cry Danger: "...it's the kind of movie in which, told to expect someone extra for dinner, delicious Fleming smiles 'OK, I'll put more water in the soup'. With excellent support players like a young, thin (for him) William Conrad and Jay Adler, this is a fast, crisp and laconic delight." [1]
