Roadblock (1951)

A competent b-noir from the RKO factory. While dated and rarely going beyond what its low budget allowed, Joan Dixon as the reforms-too-late femme-fatale leaves you wondering why her career as an actress went nowhere, and the more than competently shot doomed escape by car at the end is one of the best car chases from the period. The final scene is elegantly composed by stalwart noir photographer Nicholas Musuraca.
