Excellent story and acting!

Lloyd Bridges was a superb actor.. serious or funny. . Thanks BT! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@BrokenTrout]

No doubt Samie, thanks for checking it out @Samie Shoestring

I think superb might be stretching it a bit. He sure knew how to fight off a shark with a knife though.

@@davidhull1481 to each their own. 😊 I always enjoyed his acting.

[@davidhull1481]

@@dee-lf4kf There’s a big difference between an actor being superb and “enjoying” his acting. No need to hype his skills. Decent actor, and by all reports a good father.

[@sohara....]

1:35 intro to his character's sense of humour; very subtle acting!

[@annebellette201]

Good movie thank you

[@mysteriesoflife64]

Lloyd Bridges married his wife Dorothy in 1938. They stayed together for 60 years till his death in 98. Dorothy died in 2009. They had 4 children I admire such love stories that survive life’s turbulences and problems

[@Retroscoop]

He must belong to the 2 % of Hollywood actors who didn't marry at least 3 times.

I enjoy tidbits of info that I would otherwise not have known (the horns). Thanks to all who research or already know and share.

Full credit for this one. A nice little yarn -- even without scuba tanks.

…i.e.no sea hunting

[@avvocato5543]

Don't let the title cause you to not watch this. Well done story, that apparently was Lloyd Bridges' first leading role. Carole Gallagher - uncredited - plays the newspaper office blonde brilliantly (without saying a word). FIVE stars!!

[@doctorartphd6463]

Oh yes, love the old days !!!

Good story , good movie . Thank you Broken Trout

For those who love Lloyd Bridges, check out Sea Hunt, his 1960s adventure series.

Another good little movie, I enjoy it when the storyline involves twins/lookalikes, it usually leaves openings for so many twists and turns.....even though the bad one got 🗡at the start, he started the chain of events that formed the rest of the movie. Take care BT,your uploads are always worth a👀 peek!!!

Lynne Roberts was such a lovely, friendly presence. Wish she'd made more dramas and fewer cowboy movies.

[@leelarson107]

Most of the cowboy movies were made when she was still known as 'Mary Hart'.

[@jameswebb4593]

The real life hero of this movie was George Zucco who returned to England to fight in WW1. An officer in the West Yorkshires was wounded and lost the use of two fingers..

[@saulchapnick1566]

Lloyd Bridges, the original Dude.

[@buckymaxwell3801]

More plot holes than I could count, but a busy little picture. Worth watching if you can get past the sketchy storyline. Good supporting cast. John Kellogg, George Zucco, Milton Parsons etc. Thanks BT for digging this out of the archives.

[@johnboys4697]

Seems like 391 people like the sketchy story

[@andrewfrankovic6821]

Right about then my lungs were aching for air, and my hand for a thumb.

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

Enjoyed it, thanks BT. Twisty story, good cast. And I wonder who that busty blonde was, in the classified ad office, with the upswept hair. I wonder if the producers were testing her out to see if she'd provoke lots of fan mail. That's what happened with Tony Curtis in his first bit in Criss Cross around the same time. He has no lines, just dances with Yvonne Dr Carlo in a nightclub, and the fan mail poured in, asking, "Who was that guy??" He was known as Anthony Curtis still at that point in time.

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

I looked up the full cast list on IMDb and found out the busty blonde's name was Carole Gallagher and she did small parts at MGM and RKO. Her role in this film is listed as "Newspaper Flirt." She was married to cowboy star Dick Foran for a time. She died in 1966 at only 43.

[@leelarson107]

@@IrvONeil-fn6cp 'That busty blonde' was the star of the film. 90 minutes of her moving about in the office would have made a pleasant movie in itself.

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

@micro-organism-pv5gd No, Carole Gallagher was the busty blonde. What I meant was, perhaps the movie studio that made Secret Service Investigator was testing her out with her appearance in the same way Tony Curtis was tested out in Criss Cross by dancing on-screen for two minutes with Yvonne DeCarlo. He was so striking in that scene that it provoked so much fan mail that his career got a big boost. Likewise, Carole Gallagher was the best thing in Secret Service Investigator, as @leelarson107 said above (and with which I agree!), but unfortunately her career did not progress as successfully as Tony's.

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

@micro-organism-pv5gd I ended up watching the movie again after leaving the above reply. With more good actors than I at first recalled! A fun film. Always good to see George Zucco in charming villain mode, and John Kellogg as "Bennie" was always a good noir thug.

Just started and have no idea of where this is going, but Mallory just glances at the guy's ID and accepts though the plan is really dicey. Now, a little later on things just go as one might expect from the title like that and with Lloyd Bridges in it. Well, I will last as long as I can. Well, giving up, this is a bad parody of the genre.
