BIG STEAL, THE (1949)
Everybody's after a stolen Army payroll south of the border, and/or the thief who stole it: the Army lieutenant framed for the theft (Robert Mitchum); his superior officer (William Bendix); the military police inspector (Ramon Novarro) and the real thief's jilted fiancée (Jane Greer). Mitchum's first casting after his notorious 1948 bust for marijuana re-pairs him with his OUT OF THE PAST costar Greer; directed by a young Don Siegel, THE BIG STEAL is a sassy, fast-paced caper. DIR Don Siegel; SCR Daniel Mainwaring, Gerald Drayson Adams, from the story "The Road to Carmichael's" by Richard Wormser; PROD Jack J. Gross. U.S., 1949, b&w, 71 min. NOT RATED
