Try and Get Me
This film includes some classic noir story lines. The protagonist (Frank Lovejoy) is drawn into a world of petty crime when his search for a blue collar job results in despair,confusion, and rejection. Lovejoy's conscious becomes embroiled in turmoil when the values and convictions of an honest man fall short of providing security for his wife and son. Lovejoy meets a two bit hood in a bowling alley who convinces him that the workingmans' plight is a life filled with nothingness and unfulfilled dreams. They embark on a series of gas station robberies and enjoy the excitement of quick cold cash. Unbeknownest to his wife who thinks that he is working the late shift at a factory, the family settles into a temporary state of middle class bliss. But this is short lived, an eventual murder charge is brought aginst Lovejoy. The film then moves at a rapid pace, where prosecutors, newsmen, women, and victims are woven into Lovejoy's frozen conscious. Lloyd Bridges gives an indelible performance as the maniacal street hood who justifies crime as a means to achieve a higher class in an unforgiven society. The acting, camera work, lighting, and, editing is superb as the two are held and trapped in a town jail where ironically an angry mob seeks entrance and ultimate revenge. This film is a must see for noir enthusiasts. Critics argue that Richard Widmark's performance in Kiss of Death transformed the criminal figure into a warped and brutal character whose proclivity for violence was unrestrained. Lloyd Bridges's performance in Try and Get Me reaffirms this image, albeit, more convincingly.

Rare lynching film based on an all but forgotten true story
A bit preachy in the style of the day but a remarkable film. Theopening is especially strong. Among the interesting touches, the movielynch mob is made up mainly of college students wearing their schoolt-shirts. New York Model Adele Jergens didn't have much of a Hollywoodcareer but she's right on the money in this one. Although the timeframe is post WWII, the story is based on an actual lynching in SanJose, California, in 1933. Reporter Royce Brier of the San FranciscoChronicle won a Pulitzer for his account of the event.CaliforniaGovernor James Rolph Jr. was quoted as saying he would like to turnover all jail inmates serving sentences for kidnapping to the custodyof "those fine patriotic San Jose citizens, who know how to handle sucha situation."

Noir Non-Classic
The only interesting acting in this film is Lloyd Bridges'. The writinganddirecting are workmanlike but the result is uncomfortable to watch andthereis a definite preachiness to some of the speeches (what else can you callthem?). Also, the ending sequences are a bit too reminiscent of FritzLang's"Fury" (1936, starring Spencer Tracy), even though the events turn outdifferently.

performances?
Lloyd Bridges always gives good value whether as a complete villain, ashere, or as a hero- remember Sea Hunt? Sea Hunt was my favourite TVseries when I was an impressionable kid. I also loved him in theAirplane movies, showing a real talent for comedy. He is the best thingin this B movie. Most of the other actors I am sure were notprofessionals and Frank Lovejoy was not up to par either and usually Ihave quite liked his performances. I am watching it as I type this andam far from impressed by it - brave treatment of a dark subject or no.The actress who plays the manicurist is close to appallingly bad. Wherewere the razzies when we needed them? I am interested enough to see itthrough ,however, so it cannot be quite as bad as I am painting it.There are lots of film noir movies from this era that were so muchbetter. This could have been superb with a better, more able cast(Lloyd Bridges aside). I think a lot of this was dubbed later so itaffects the acting and atmosphere.
