Crime Wave (Warner Bros., 1954). Dir Andre De Toth. Wrt Bernard Gordon, Richard Wormser, from the story by John Hawkins and Ward Hawkins. With Sterling Hayden, Gene Nelson, Phyllis Kirk, Ted de Corsia, Charles Bronson. (73 min, b&w, 35 mm)

‘Doc’ Penny and his gang rob a gas station and wind up killing a cop. They seek refuge with a former cell-mate, Steve Lacey, an ex-con trying to build a clean life. Sterling Hayden is the hardboiled, screwy detective who doesn’t believe that Lacey can reform. Timothy Carey (see July 10 & 11) makes a brief appearance as a crazed thug. Gritty and fast-paced with excellent performances and innovative camera work shot on location in Los Angeles and Glendale, CA. Preceded by a selection of trailers. (LP)
