Clear-eyed men in high military collars, tootling on flügelhorns and euphoniums on chilly street corners. A brisk song, a quaint sermon. A bunk for the stumbling drunk. Even that perennial embarrassment, an outstretched tambourine and a copy of The War Cry thrust suddenly into the midst of the regulars at the bar. Courage. Honesty. Efficiency.

Some even wear neckties on the road. Drivers are no longer required to help with the chores of loading and unloading; mechanics...
...head of a small criminal band of psychopathic wastrels, four of whom are, incidentally, her sons. There are heavy-breathing suggestions that the family that preys together plays together. Mama rewards her sons after a hard day of busting heads or robbing banks by letting one of them bunk with her for the night. The fact that everyone gets his just deserts in an insipid shoot-'em-up in the final reel will come as no surprise. Producer-Director Roger Gorman has made some tricky, sinister horror movies in his time (The Tomb of Ligeia, The Masque...
