Highway 301 Warner Brothers THE brutal saga of a wolf-pack of gunmen, headed by Steve Cochran, which up to a point successfully evades the authorities. Strewn along the gang's path of holdups are the bodies of a number of innocent people who have interfered with Operations Heist. Included is Steve's girl after she is determined not to have anything further to do with Steve and/or his rotten life. Lots of hair-raising man-hunt scenes, with emphasis laid on the shrewd police work which brought about the obliteration of the entire mob.

Cathy O'Donnell, is playing around with a roue; and her romance with Air Force flyer John Hodiak cahn't possibly survive now that her husband, Walter Pidgeon, has returned from the wars. Every tear-jerking gimmick is wrung dry in what obviously is the lahst of the Miniver stories. Enough tears should Dick Powell subdues menace William Conrad in this scene in "Cry Danger," RKO thriller.
