Review of The Last Ride

The Last Ride (1944)
6/10
snoozer crime story from WW II
19 January 2020
The summary sounds contrived, even before I have seen the film itself. We had seen just about every plot involving the crime mobs taking advantage of shortages of various items... booze, gasoline, jewels. here, the plot revolves around the rubber shortage during WW II. with some extra twists. a B flick from warner brothers. Richard Travis is Lieutenant Harrigan, following up when fake tires start causing crashes and deaths. co-stars Charles Lang, Eleanor Parker. it's like a SLOW episode of dragnet... we follow along as the law tries to close in on the fake tire sellers. but now the witnesses are getting knocked off! all wrapped up in 57 minutes. this one is not so good. Directed by king of the westerns, Ross Lederman.
