Hit and Run (1957)
5/10
hit and run '57
17 October 2022
Doubt if I'll be rushing down to the ol video store to stock up on Hugo Haas films despite tcchelsey's admonition below and Eddie Muller's advocacy of the guy as an admirable maker of low budget films "on his own terms". Problem is, Haas' "terms" include lots of crappy acting, flat, cliche ridden dialogue and cinematography that, at best, merits the phrase "gets the job done". I also share with another previous IMDB reviewer an aversion to this writer/director/star having a penchant for hogging the few good lines in the screenplay as well as seeming to lavish undue attention to the scenes he's in and relegating Vince Edwards and Cleo Moore to the dustbin of B movie steamy standardization. Give it a C.

PS...Don't know about you but when it comes to a brunette alternative to Cleo I sure coulda used more Dolores Reed and less Mara Lea.
