Review of Undertow

Undertow (1949)
6/10

In Undertow wich was shot on location in Chicago the same way The Naked City was shot on location in New York, Scott Brady our protagonist is fresh out of prison and he's vowed to take out the mob boss who put him there.

That was what we would call a lot of trash talk today, but said trash talk is making Brady look very good for the homicide of said Chicago mob boss.

Brady spends most of the film on he run and looking for assistance. He finds it in Peggy Dow a girl he met while out of town and from homicide detective Bruce Bennett a childhood friend.

Although it's fairly obvious from the gitgo who's behind the murder still Undertow is a good mystery thriller. Look for Rock Hudson in a small role as one of the detectives assigned to the case.

Nice 2nd feature B film from Universal.
