A Date with Death (1959)
DIRECTOR: Harold Daniels (My World Dies Screaming)
STARS: Gerald Mohr (Angry Red Planet), Liz Renay (Thrill Killers, Desperate Living), Harry Lauter (Escape from the Planet of the Apes), Robert Clarke (Hideous Sun Demon), Ken Duncan (Night of the Ghouls)
SYNOPSIS: Well regarded crime film that never made the jump to dvd or vhs! Gerald Mohr stars as a hardened former soldier down on his luck riding trains with fellow vagrants. When he's chased off by a mean conductor in Arizona he walks to the nearest town. On the way he spots a car in some bushes and tries to get a lift, only to discover the driver has been killed. Mohr cleans himself up and steals the car and dead man's identity. On the way through town he's mistaken for the dead man who was traveling from New York to take over as chief of police. Mohr has no choice but to play along until he can make a clean escape. In the process he actually makes headway in the murder investigation. He also perks up when he meets busty Liz Renay as a criminally entangled night club singer. Mohr plays his role very tough with little patience for cops or crooks and Renay gets to sing a full song: "Film Flam". The Hideous Sun Demon himself, Robert Clarke, does a good job as the local crime kingpin responsible for the (real) police chief's murder.
