HUNT
THE MAN DOWN
1950.....68
Minutes
Gig
Young , Lynne Roberts, Mary Anderson, Cleo Moore
Gig Young was just beginning to toughen up his previously lightweight
screen image when he starred in Hunt the Man Down. In a tense,
tight, 68 minutes, public defender Paul Bennett (Young) dedicates
himself to freeing an innocent man who has already spent 12
years in jail. Accused of murder, transient Richard Kinkaid
(James Anderson) had been unable to afford proper legal representation
at his first trial. With no new evidence, Bennett is obliged
to solve the murder himself, and to do that he must track down
the original witnesses to the crime. The cast is a film buff's
paradise, ranging from leading ladies Lynne Roberts and Carla
Balenda to featured players Harry Shannon, Iris Adrian, Mary
Anderson, Gerald Mohr, Cleo Moore and prolific voiceover artist
Paul Frees.
