Kansas City Confidential (1952)

Jack Elam

John Payne gets sent up for an armored car robbery. He was framed. Really.  The police finally recognize their mistake and let Payne go and the chase is on.  To make things more complicated,the crooks wore masks during the robbery and don’t know each other or who hired them. Payne winds up in Mexico. I’m keeping the details vague because I don’t want to take away the sheer enjoyment of this great crime film.

The cast is first rate: John Payne, Coleen Gray,Preston Foster, Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef and Jack Elam.

I'm a big fan of vintage books,movies,TV shows and music. I encourage everyone to patronize your local used book/record store and pick up some of the good stuff. My posts are capsule reviews of some favorites that you may want to investigate. The albums posted aren't really reviews but items from my collection that are still available. I try and point out highlights of each one and let the music speak for itself. Thanks to all for checking out the blog.
