Federal Fugitive starts out with an interesting plot premise, Neil Hamilton from Army Intelligence recognizing through a disguise a wanted fugitive who was supposed to have been killed in a plane crash. Victor Varconi is of course up to no good.
In his current guise Varconi is trying to buy into an airplane factory which is now making parts from plastic. Some foreign soon to be enemies would like to get their hands on that. Hamilton goes undercover as the factory owner's partner from California who none of them have seen.
Still Varconi is suspicious and he gets his partner to get girl Friday Doris Day to charm some information out of Hamilton. Failing that Varconi tries to poison Hamilton.
Doris's switching of sides was a little too convenient and terribly unconvincing. Add to that the general shoddiness of a PRC film and this falls on the red side of the ledger.
And this is not THE Doris Day who would make her film debut seven years later. So if you were expecting a song, all I can say is Que Sera Sera.
