Noir City 5: The Threat & Roadblock



Ah, The Threat.... good 'ol reliable Charles McGraw. Gruff & gavel voiced he's one of those noir icons that you could set a watch to, only he would smash it & tell you "now ya don't worry about what time it is". No back talk & grab the grub.I SAID GRAB THE GRUB.
Such is The Threat's charm. I have seen this baby on TCM ( or maybe it was AMC), either way it's a shame that it has yet to appear on any (legit) home media format here in the USA.
As for Roadblock we are dealing with a Double Indemnity style noir here, but it's still worth your time due to McGraw being a sucker for beautiful dish Joan Dixon.
Overall, not a bad twin bill.
