Review :

Six convicts escape and head for cash hidden away by William Bendix

Crashout is an excellent film noir. The story starts after the crashout from prison of 6 convicts. It focuses solely on the aftermath. Each character is developed carefully, as is the story itself, which unfolds logically and tragically as befits noir.

In these movies of old, we often find assembled amazingly good casts. In this case, there is William Bendix playing a coldly calculating and manipulative con. William Talman plays a killer with a few religious screws loose. Marshall Thompson is a younger con yearning to be free. Luther Adler is a ladies man anxious to take what he wants. Arthur Kennedy is an embittered thief out for money, and Gene Evans is a hot-tempered oaf. At first they hide out in a secret cave known to Bendix.

These six would go their separate ways except that a wounded Bendix ropes them into helping him in return for a share of big loot that he has stashed. But first they must overcome obstacles: food, clothing, a car, and avoiding any roadblocks.

Eventually, Beverly Michaels and her family are involved and a romantic attachment between her and Kennedy develops. Gloria Talbot has a role in one sequence playing a naive girl on her sad way back home after failing to make it as a singer in the big city.

The climax takes place on a snowy mountain top where the money is buried.

The acting is top notch from all hands. Kennedy and Bendix are special standouts. This is by no means an average movie or noir. This once was out on VHS tape. I wonder why it hasn't been remastered and made it to DVD. It's one of those core film noir classics.
