The Glass Key (1942)
Country: US
Technical: bw 85m
Director: Stuart Heisler
Cast: Brian Donlevy, Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, William Bendix
Synopsis:
A politican's attempts to tidy up his past are complicated when his sister's lover turns up dead.
Review:
Dashiell Hammett reduced to a Frank Miller-style comic strip. Not badly done, with Bendix relishable as a psychotic heavy with a penchant for comparing his victims to 'rubber balls'.
