I appreciate the future daughter in law of Ozzie and Harriet's kinky shoe fetish, and The Lawman makes a good psycho villain (who knew?), and as a lifetime Los Angeles resident who well remembers the city's smog levels going way up once mass transit was cut, I found the finale in the Red Car cemetery heartbreaking, but as for the rest of this standard B picture hesit flic I kept wondering if audiences who saw it in '57 thought the same thing I did, namely,"Why pay to watch stuff I can get for free on 'M Squad' or 'Highway Patrol' and I'm not even talking about the best episodes"? Give it a generous C plus for the above plaisirs.
