Armored Car Robbery (1950): Solid B-Noir

Armored Car Robbery 1950Director, Richard Fleischer, teams with B-movie stalwart, Charles McGraw, in a tight 67 minutes of classic b-noir mayhem. A daring heist goes wrong and the criminal mastermind tries to shoot his way out, with a final take-out on an airport runway. A police procedural firmly grounded in the steets of LA with dark noir atmospherics. Recommended.

Fliescher and McGraw teamed again in The Narrow Margin (1952).
