Cheesy B-Movie on New Orleans
11 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
As a native of Louisiana, I know a fair bit about New Orleans. Having lived both there (N.O.) and Manhattan, NY, I promise you the best restaurants in America are in those 2 cities. I digress. There has been (and continues to be) a very large amount of corruption in New Orleans and Louisiana (in general). As noted by others, former police chief Joseph L. Scheuring was charged with malfeasance in office. He was also convicted of several other crimes. That is the tip of the iceberg. Police abuse got much worse; especially with the African-American community. After Hurricane Katrina (in 2005), many officers were arrested and convicted of crimes. The best aspect of this film is it gives a great view of New Orleans circa 1955. In short: A William Castle (king of the B-Movies) piece of cheese.
