Review of Bodyguard

Bodyguard (1948)
5/10
The meat racket
29 June 2020
Bodyguard is what Phillip Reed wants to hire recently former LA homicide Lawrence Tierney detective for. Reed feels his rich aunt Elizabeth Risdon is in need of protection.How right he is and she's not the only one.

Tierney got bounced off the force recently for excessive force and his immediate superior who did the bouncing was killed. He's a suspect and Tierney has to protect Risdon and be wary not to be arrested.

Risdon is a meat packing plant owner which has made her rich and there's quite a racket going on there. That also is uncovered by Tierney and girl Friday Priscilla Lane.

Best scene in the film is Tierney listening to Priscilla Lane on record drone on about all the cases the recently deceased detective was on. Quite a laborious and boring task as Tierney's body language shows.

Decent programmer without much mystery to it.
