Underworld
Cats: Film Noir|This was a big favorite at Movie Place and was on the screen quite a bit. Nothing better than a revenge on the mob picture. Teenaged Tolly Devlin sees four gangsters beat his father to death. He saw who did it but clams up when questioned by the police. He ain’t seen nothing. So begins Tolly’s twenty year odyessy of revenge, even going so far as to get lucky enough to go to the same maximum security facility as one of the guilty hoodlums As the years pass the killers have risen to the top of the crime syndicate but that is no matter to Tolly who has only one thing on his mind. After reaching adulthood he joins the organization that the killers preside over with the intention of fulfilling his death wish. One by one Tolly bumps off the culprits but will he be successful in his quest?
Cliff Robertson as Tolly is tremendous and Sam Fuller’s direction was never better.
