The king of low budget film noir with cleavage, Hugo Haas, is to be commended. Haas had the knack for remaking classic films, such as THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE as a prime example, and with him in them as the old man in the way, accompanied by lovely femme fatale Cleo Moore. It's nice to see some of his films surface of late as they were a rerun favorite back in the days of black and white tv. HIT AND RUN is a
sleazy little gem all about young hunk Vince Edwards working at Haas' garage and discovering flirtatious Moore. Haas (who plays Gus) gets run over (why not?) and Vince and Cleo live happily ever after --or do they?
Let the grade-B suspense begin, and what a tangled web these two weave. Recommended late show stuff and with all the cheap trimmings. Some of Haas films are on dvd, but you have to do your homework. There are also some double bill or box sets floating around. Check ebay for best results.
