Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the few times Lawrence Tierney played a good guy. He also was the hero in Step By Step; in both, he's the Wrong Man aka falsely accused of murder: having to prove his innocence to, by the end, find the real killer. He was also the hero in Bodyguard, the last movie he did before being fired by RKO. Ironically, he was on pretty good behavior on that set (but was fired for his past arrests); however, co-star Priscilla Lane also complained that Tierney could be difficult.

Featured review
Better Than Average Fish Movie - Kil or be Killed
I am a big fan of Lawrence Tierney and I look for all his films whenever I have a few hours to kill. In this film, Tierney is a protagonist rather than a cold-blooded killer, like he was in Born to Kill. The characters in this film are far less seedy and sleazy as well. The major weakness of the film is the music; it appears as if the film was hijacked by the people responsible for the music soundtrack. Instead of having foreboding music similar to that in Psycho, the composers for this sound track try to recreate The Sound of Music. "The River with Killer Fish is alive with the sound of music". would have been lyrics they might have created to further ruin what was a decent story line. The music is terribly overbearing and overwhelms the characters and the plot at times. Fortunately, Tierney saves us from this version of The Producers by sticking to his hard guy pesonna. Lesson: dont let music ruin your film.
