How chummy! You brought a friend with you. How hospitable.

Why trouble to explain? It's so touchingly natural.

You actually know his name! I'm Morgan Vallin. Always glad to meet any of Glenda's friends, though she doesn't usually bring them with her.

I had to bring him here, Morgan. He killed a detective for me so I could get here.

Forgive me, Johnny whatever your name is. I want to thank you for any assistance you may have given my little wife.

She forgot to tell you, of course. She usually does. Or were you afraid he might not have come here with you?

I told you why I brought him here. He had no other getaway. This is Johnny Rock. They want him for escaping a stretch at Sing Sing.

Nothing. He doesn't even know where he is.

And how did that minute mind of yours conclude that anyone could be of service to me with his pictures in all the papers, with a number across the front of them?

They took those a long time ago. I've changed a lot since then.

But your type never changes. Just looking at you makes one think of alley fighting, tommy guns.

You would call it that. But it's my library, my concert hall, my trophy room. Here I have the best the world has to offer, and I don't intend to let anything jeopardize it. I can permit only people around me of whose methods I am sure.

A Little &quot;Most Dangerous Game&quot; Thrown In

George Raft is &quot;Johnny Allegro&quot; in this 1949 B movie also starring Nina Foch, Will Geer, and George Macready. Raft plays a florist who is in actuality an escaped prisoner in hiding; he&apos;s approached by treasury agent Geer to clear his record by getting cozy with a woman he just met (Foch). Her husband (Macready) is distributing counterfeit (and ripping off his Soviet boss). They live on an island in the Caribbean. While she&apos;s trying to get out of town and away from the Feds, Raft kills a police officer to help her. Then he insists that she take him along or he&apos;ll be captured. This sets him up with her suspicious husband (McCready).

Not bad; the ending is reminiscent of &quot;The Most Dangerous Game.&quot; George Raft couldn&apos;t act, but for someone who played gangsters so much, he had a warmth and a smoothness. By 1949, some of his gravitas had gone, but he was still pleasant to watch. When I was growing up, Nina Foch was playing skinny socialites on TV. It&apos;s always nice to see her as a young leading woman. Will Geer as the treasury agent is delightful, very laid back.
