"Some people sell pineapples, I sell information."

This is now starting to be a chore. I'm getting down to my last few films in the Mill Creek Mystery Collection of two hundred and fifty movies, and it's getting more and more difficult to pay attention. This is a somewhat convoluted story involving a pickpocket and Communists and some kind of secret chemical formula but don't ask me anything beyond that. It's just not worth it.

And please don't tell me that was Claire Trevor in the role credited to Claire Trevor. Gosh, what happened to her? Give me instead the actress from 1939's "Stagecoach" or 1948's "Key Largo". I know actors and actresses get older but I didn't recognize her here even after seeing her name in the opening credits.

Still need a recommendation? OK, it's got James Brolin and Jacqueline Bisset in early lead roles, but this was before they became actors. Try to stay focused here and it's nearly impossible. At least Bisset was appropriately named, her character was Candy. As in eye candy. After that, it's all down hill.
