I love these twisty, tangled film noirs, you can feel the tension and deviousness of the schemers with every line. The crooked D.A. and the two-timing, tough-as-nails secretary were a match made in purgatory.

Movie gives you great faith in the justice system..DA is really a crime boss without scruples!

[@theSupertonesurf]

the Boogie Woogie piano player in the restaurant scene is epic Cool movie as well

[@DAquingil]

Have you seen the original “DOA” with Edmond O’Brian? It’s got a great on location jazz band scene at the club “Fisherman”. It’s pretty epic too, although not as great as this one.

[@auletjohnast03638]

TheSupertonesurf, The guy at the piano suck, I had to advance the movie.

Thankyou CCC. Another gem

These old movies were excellent !

[@jameslangan7357]

The scene was well paced when he was tracking the wire in the various offices. I think there was a lot more going on inside the Heads of some of the Directors that we give them credit for.

the magnificent Gene Rodgers!

[@carolecarle7921]

@@freednb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Rodgers "Rodgers appears, with opening title credits, in the 1947 film Shoot to Kill, though it doesn't look like the sound was miked during filming. Appearing about 9:40 into the film is "Ballad of the Bayou" and later is "Rajah's Blues." Both are Rodgers compositions."

[@danieleyre8913]

He was the highlight of this otherwise pretty poor film.

[@dokskwyr4353]

I don't think I ever heard of "Robert L. Lippert" until a couple of weeks ago but boy he sure produced some great film noir. From now on when I see film noir with his name in the credits I'll be sure to watch it. I'm already at the point where when I see his name I know its going to be a good flick.

[@freddiemiranda5366]

Thanks CCC this one is going to be a good one tonight see ya all cultist tonight and don't be late.

[@gailjarvis2592]

Very good film with talented Russell Wade in the lead. He was in "The Ghost Ship" with Richard Dix. He should have had a bright future. Don't know why that didn't happen.

[@nedludd7622]

Really? He only appeared in 80 films and he was a pretty stiff actor. So he succeeded beyond his level.

Where is talent like that today? Nowhere. - And if there are musicians that good, they can't get work.

A strange setting of the plot with many losses. An assistant attorney didn't know that his wife was having a marriage status.

You may have a dumb view of reality. And of what the past contained. I find most moderns have almost zero historical context, but plenty of incorrect beliefs.

And after the fights on the staircase , getting punched several times and falling down the stairs and over the railing, he still has his hat on ! Must be some special fit or it's glued on !

[@davidsigalow7349]

That's the one scene where the low budget is noticeable, as (a) the action on both landings was obviously filmed on the same set; and (b) the cheap railing almost breaks several times.

A Grate Movie .

[@danieleyre8913]

LOL there is literally no whatsoever reason why this film should be titled “shoot to kill”, the phrase has no relevance to the plot nor the not exactly crisp dialogue. And the “plot twist” of the judge being the gangster in disguise was so absurd that the actor looks embarrassed.

[@CultCinemaClassics]

Wonder what title you would give it. Any ideas? Might be a good survey to post!

[@danieleyre8913]

@@CultCinemaClassics I’d probably give it a name that reflects the journalist character. Like “the scoop chaser”…

At 5 minutes and 23 seconds look very closely of a enomolie floating in to the door and vanish. I t was not the smoke for the cigerette . It was a small circle from a downward motion. Many time's in watching these classic old movie's the camera caprure's these spirit's on film.

No. It's chemistry of ageing film.

Tat was not aging of film , those was orb's that is seen in modern day ghost investigation's.. Have a open mind. I have captured spirit's myself on camera.

A reporter says, "I've got an angle on this", meaning he can make up a good story. The flight was slap-stick and forgettable. Imagine a reporter fighting a gangster.
