Editorial Reviews

Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Granite-jawed Lawrence Tierney is the Bodyguard in this second-echelon noir thriller. Invited to resign from the LA police, short-tempered Mike Carter (Tierney) hires on to protect wealthy dowager Eugenia Dyson (Elizabeth Risdon). Before the film has reached its halfway point, Carter has been accused of murder, and is being hunted down by his former fellow officers. Only his file-clerk fiancee Doris Brewster (Priscilla Lane) believes in Carter's innocence, and it is she who is instrumental in cornering the actual killer. After a few more films like Bodyguard and The Narrow Margin, it was obvious that director Richard O. Fleischer had outgrown B pictures and was ready for more prestigious assignments.; ...Bodyguard

This review is from: The Bodyguard (DVD)

Hot-headed former detective Lawrence Tierney is framed for the the murder of the police boss who fired him. He manages to stay one step ahead of the police as he races to track down the real killer and clear his name, with the help of his girlfriend Priscilla Lane. This is a well paced and efficient B film with some good one liners from Tierney. Interesting to see Tierney in different role to his usual bad guy characters (Dillinger, Born to Kill, The Devil Thumbs A Ride). The black and white picture and sound are in excellent condition for this 60+ year old movie. No extras, not even a theatrical trailer. Picture quality 9/10, Sound 9/10, Movie 6.5/10
