He manages to be hired by a major San Francisco newspaper and from then on he is prepared to do anything to achieve his aim. Undaunted by anything, Early sinks into the underworld where gang boss Nick Palmer (Brian Donlevy) takes him under his wing. Thanks to him, Jack can take sensational snapshots of heisters at work. Soon, thinking he is protected by the compromising photos he keeps taking, he starts manipulating and double crossing hoodlums, including his mentor Nick Palmer.</div><div><br></div><div>Despite being a rather hard-to-find noir B-movie, <i>Shakedown </i>brings with it a rather loaded supporting cast, including one of the last surviving leading ladies of 1940s cinema in Anne Vernon (<i>The Umbrellas of Cherbourg</i>), athlete-turned-prolific actor Bruce Bennett (<i>Mildred Pierce</i>), the Academy Award-nominated Rock Hudson (<i>Giant</i>), and well-known mobster-player and all around madman Lawrence Tierney (<i>Gloria</i>, <i>Dillinger</i>, <i>Reservoir Dogs</i>).</div>CrimePT1H20MN/C 152026-11-01USenHoward Duff
