Laurie Could performed the role of Melba, the demon girl journalist, with the sort of fire and ice that has made her well-known to Harvard audiences. Andy Hiken, as the ncredible Ludlow Lowell, cavorted in the proper Runyonesque manner...
...Dullea), who has done two years in state prison for an armed robbery that netted him exactly $19, emerges from the tank still wet behind the ears. The priest awakens a hope in the boy that he can actually make it the hard way. The boy works like a demon, impresses his boss. Then, fired for a theft he did not commit, he bitterly resolves on revenge. While trying to blow the boss's safe, he is surprised by a foreman, who attacks him with a crowbar. The boy panics, shoots his assailant dead, runs wildly through the streets...
