Rating: - Triumphant Return
I'm perhaps not the best person to review this film, for me Robert Stack could never do any wrong. That said, it did keep me entertained throughout. The story was a good one with Ness coming back to Chicago to pay his respects to a dead friend and colleague. The friend it turns out has been accused of being on the take. Ness stays in Chicago to help his friend's son clear his name. The truth when it emerges is quite stunning. The son of the head of the local mafia family, being the villain of the piece together with his father's moll, ploting to take over the gambling operations and muscling in on other mafia families action by doing a deal with the commander of the garrison where they store obsolete military weapons before being shipped out to be melted down. Ness's friend had discovered this and was set up to make it look as if he was corrupt. Robert Stack was 72 years old when he made this film. In my opinion he made a fine job of it, re-affirming my belief he was one of Hollywood's most underrated actors. Strongly recommended.
