Pleasant surprise

Due to the good reviews I watched this movie the other morning and was pleasantly surprised. It was a black and white movie made 62 years ago and I found it better than lots of new movies. My wife hates old b/w movies but when I read her the storyline she agreed to watch it with me and surprisingly she liked it. It shows what people are really like when you have to live with them rather than just a casual aquaintance. How many people noticed that the airline pilot and co-pilot had been the movie Boston Blackie and the tv Boston Blackie?

Trivia
Budgeted at a mere $225,000, which was extremely low even by RKO standards, this picture netted a rather impressive $262,000 in profits.

Goofs
When Vasquez checks his pistol at the end, there are only two cartridges in the cylinder; the remaining four chambers are empty. A revolver doesn't eject spent cartridges, so the other chambers should still contain spent shells.

Quotes
Vasquez: Hanging is such an unpleasant death. Besides, a hanged man always dies alone. I much prefer dying in the company of decent citizens like you... always provided I'm the last to die.
