THE BIG CHASE 1954 (TUBI)

An odd but well made B picture.

Glenn Langdon plays a young policeman named Pete Grayson who is new to the force, and if that wasn't stressful enough, his wife Doris is expecting their first child.

Doris (Adele Jergins) worries about Pete and his new job. Pete gets mixed up in a plan to capture 4 crazed killers that have made off with a huge sum of money from a bank robbery.

This is a very simple plot but it is done very well, and the cast was my main reason for watching it when I discovered it on Tubi. The rest of the cast includes Lon Chaney, Jr. (who has no lines), Jim Davis, Douglas Kennedy, Joe Flynn, and Lita Milan.

The other two interesting points about this film is that it is told in flashback and it is comprised of two films, this one and a Robert Lippert directed film entitled "Bandit Island" which was shot in 3-D. All of the punches, gunshots and jumping is done directly at the camera for a rather startling effect.

I can't recommend this fun little film enough. It's a great trip downmenory lane with the cast and if you get a chance, check it out.
