Review of 5 Against the House (1955) by Allan C — 11 Aug 2010
"Everybody's got a headache today. We're living in the aspirin age." As a lark, four college buddies and one fella's dame (the stunning Kim Novak) conspire to knock over a Reno casino.
The joke, of course, turns sour and frat boy turns on frat boy. Honestly, I was not thrilled with this semi-noir caper despite digging Brian Keith's troubled Brick and bein' doe eyed for Kim Novak.
The friends just don't gel that well together and the story never turns from its obvious outcome. Solid, but not a stunner. VF.
