Roadblock (1951)

RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Harold Daniels
My rating: 3 stars out of 4

Gritty little film noir benefits from LA locations, a beautiful femme fatale played by Joan Dixon, and a likeable insurance investigator played by Charles McGraw. While not in the same league as say Double Indemnity, this closely follows the film noir template, and perhaps that familiarity is its main weakness.
