Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)

 
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS  (1950)  ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Otto Preminger
    Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Gary Merrill,
    Bert Freed, Tom Tully, Karl Malden,
    Ruth Donnelly, Craig Stevens, Neville Brand
A cop who has a habit of beating up suspects accidentally kills one and tries to pin the rap on the gangster. What could go wrong? As it turns out, just about everything. Dana Andrews plays the cop, who's like a prototype of Dirty Harry, but without a sense of humor. Eddie Muller, who knows all about this stuff, says nobody ever pulled off wearing a fedora better than Dana Andrews.
