Summary: 4 Stars
The Hoodlum, 1951 film
The film begins with two men in a car driving somewhere in the night. We hear about Vincent Lubeck's crimes. He will be paroled after his mother meets the parole board. The warden warns Vincent. His brother Johnny owns a gas station. [Does Vincent have a good attitude?] Vincent can't keep his mind on his work. Should Johnny help his brother? Rosa thinks she can help Vincent. [Can anyone?] "What did it accomplish?" Eileen drives a Rambler. Vincent has plans for a Big Score with other crooks. Rosa Chermak has a problem, there will be an autopsy. A funeral car doesn't have to stop for lights. Vince gets an idea. His gang scouts the bank. Will the plan work?
They rob the armored car and shoot the guards. They leave the cab and transfer to the hearse for a funeral. The police will blockade the roads in the city and shoot to kill. But funeral cars are allowed to pass. The lieutenant questions the mortuary owner and notices a discrepancy. There is a squabble over sharing the loot. Is there honor and trust among thieves? The police catch the rest of the gang. What will Vincent do? Can he escape? "Its too late." His mother speaks to him. Is she heart-broken? Johnny speaks to him and commands obedience. The police arrive to end the story.
This is a very good story for a low-budget production. The Lubeck family didn't know when it was time to cut their losses.
