The Trap (1959)
(The Baited Trap)
Country: US
Technical: col 84m
Director: Norman Panama
Cast: Richard Widmark, Lee J. Cobb, Earl Holliman, Tina Louise
Synopsis:
A bent lawyer arrives in a remote town near the Mexican border to clear the way for his mobster client to leave the country. It is no accident that his father is the sheriff and his brother the alcoholic deputy.
Review:
Intriguing genre hybrid, part Western-part Gangster film, with a comedy director. It boils down to a lot of talk, with a dramatic finish that turns the tables on the audience.
