It also stars Neil Hamilton and Dean Jagger. This has to be the absolute best Monogram film I've ever seen!! The film score by Dimitri Tiomkin proves that the music does make a difference. There is a scene where Hunter is lit by the neon that is really breathtaking. This was remastered by Warner Bros. Tom

But Bob was a bit hesitant, the story goes that he was a bit intimidated by the boys. They had been involved in the manufacturing and distribution of pinball and slot machines and there was some concern on his part about where their money came from as well as some of the associates he had seen on the set. He managed to stall them long enough to finish the film and move on and their next was DILLINGER with Lawrence Tierney.

He made the Monogram on loan-out.
