Kansas City Confidential 1952Directed by Phil Karlson
Starring John Payne, Coleen Gray, Preston Foster, Neville Brand, and Lee Van Cleef
99 mins Black And White
This is a terrific noir film with tough men, a gorgeous babe, and lots of plot twists.
The story starts when an anonymous gangster recruits 4 men to hijack a million US dollars from a bank delivery van. The heist is successful, and the robbers get away with the loot.
The police cotton on to Joe Rolfe (John Payne) the driver of a flower van that should have been in the area at the time of the robbery. As Rolfe is an ex-con, the police rough him up. When they realise Rolfe is innocent, they let him go - but Rolfe is determined to find out who-dunnit.
Really, really terrific film worth watching. You can download it for free from the Internet Archive. The poster is from Wikipedia.
