Instead, he winds up in his wrecked car, on a rocky ocean beach, helpless with a broken back, as high tide rolls in. Don Castle, as the bodyguard, is runner-up to Tracy for top acting honors. Anabel Shaw, as the shy secretary of the newspaper publisher, Julie Bishop as a philandering wife, and Regis Toomey, as a police inspector, give quality performances. Others in an able support cast are Douglas Walton, Francis Ford, Anthony Warde, Argentina Brunetti and Wilson Wood. Jack Wrather's production and John Reinhardt's direction rate high commendation, especially for the refreshing departure from tradition in stagng the newspaper office scenes.

Blackmail Republic — Standard Thriller Except for some knuckle-searing, "no holds barred" fisticuff scenes this picture is unlikely to over-excite audiences, but suspense is kept up nicely until the very end in a story that defies logic on several counts. William Marshall pleases as the private detective with a yen to toss off wise-cracks under all and every circumstances. Ricardo Cortez manages as best he can while wrestling with some pretty difficult lines and Adele Mara and Richard Fraser make a good-looking pair of villains. Direction by Lesley Selander is heavy-handed. William J. O'Sullivan was the associate producer. Royal K. Cole wrote the screenplay from an original story by Robert Leslie Bellem. Pepped up by the action scenes, the plot moves along at a trim pace with only occasional lags. Marshall as the detective is retained by Cortez, a rich California playboy, to get him out of a blackmail frameup. He says he was drugged by Stephania Bachelor, a singer, who subsequently arranged to take some compromising pictures. Miss Bachelor is killed and when her partner also is shot, Marshall suspects Cortez whom he finds with gun in hand. The police don't believe Marshall since he can't produce a body. A gambling house run by Roy Barcroft owes Cortez a lot of money, so Marshall investigates that end and gets himself in and out of a lot of trouble, only to find in the end that Adele Mara, Cortez' girl friend, and Richard Fraser, the chauffeur, are the real villains.
