Who would ever program an evening of family entertainment built on Sheldon Leonard and lead characters named "Dwyer"? Our Dewey, that's who.
Think Sam Fuller with no budget. With perhaps the most exciting opening of the series, VIOLENCE begins with blaring music, a freezeframe of a building with an unfurled American flag (as the credits are rolling), a pan to the building's basement where we see the silhouette of a man beating another, ending with a pan to an observer, Sheldon Leonard with his lip curled in pleasure. A group built on organizing disgruntled veterans serves as a front for a crypto-fascist shakedown gang. An intrepid girl reporter who has infiltrated the gang suffers amnesia and becomes an actual supporter while her fiancee (they met the night before, pre-amnesia), unbeknownst to her he is a government investigator, uses her to infiltrate the gang. No spoiler will be revealed here, but suffice it to say that we are still here to watch this film-to-the-wise.

Just made this a double-bill a couple of weeks ago. Whew! Jean was cold as ice and Leslie Brooks was crazy. If you see either of these blondes on a cold dark night...keep going. Great flicks. "Blonde Ice" had some really snappy lines! Both leading men were waaaay out of their depth opposite Gillie and Brooks. Gillie was wonderful in her small role in "The Macomber Affair."[u][color=#FF0000]ChiO[/color][/u] wrote:DECOY is a goody with quite a nasty femme fatale. Another Bernhard film with a nasty one is BLONDE ICE (1948), but, overall, it's not up to DECOY (Edgar G. Ulmer claimed to have written the original story, but he's uncredited. Take for what it's worth.)
