![]() We really worry about him as he whines his way from crisis to crisis. He plays a loser 'groupie' to some gangsters, and of course after playing with fire gets seriously burned. And this film marked the film debut of the extraordinary character actor Royal Dano. Gerald Mohr is there, a smoothie psycho gangster, just the sort of guy we don't want to meet. The film is strengthened by the brief but reassuring presence of Connie Gilchrist as Sadie, who may have a small part but she adds fibre to the diet. Her two love interests are Scott Brady and Richard Egan, both convincing. So she is very chameleon-like, and it works. She can be soft, she can be tough, she can be nondescript, she can be glamorous. Alexis Smith does an excellent job of portraying the lead character, revealing several different sides to the character with equal conviction. This was only the second film directed by Joseph Pevney, and although it was made on the same old B picture shoe string which made the rounds of the footwear of every B producer, it is good sturdy stuff.
