Cry Danger
U.S., 1951
Cry Danger is an unforgettable noir filled with snappy, laconic dialogue and a captivating narrative equal to none other. An ex-con released from prison for a crime he didn't commit wants revenge for those iniquitous stolen best years of his life. Set in Los Angeles, this noir thriller stars Dick Powell as fast-paced, fresh-talking wise guy Rocky Mulloy along with Rhonda Fleming, Richard Erdman and William Conrad. Written by William Bowers of Split Second and The Mob, both equally great noir films. Robert Parrish made his directorial debut, taking a break from film editing and acting. The dialogue and shots elevate this pulp fiction, with Powell on the prowl with witty, smart zingers.
35mm, b&w, 79 min. Director: Robert Parrish. Screenwriter: William Bowers. With: Dick Powell, Rhonda Fleming, Richard Erdman, William Conrad.
