Review of Drive a Crooked Road (1954) by Trent R — 15 Jun 2010

Predictable, but enjoyably so, with Rooney cast excellently against type and isolated in the frame early and often to good effect. He and Foster play well together, with her chauvinistic accomplices supporting in a nicely contrasting manner.

It takes nearly an hour to get to the specifics of the caper, but the time given to character development is spent well and heightens the impact of the more quickly paced close.
