Tough Assignment (1949)


Lippert Pictures
Directed by William Beaudine
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

The illegal beef racket is the subject of this poor "film noir". An intrepid newspaper reporter and his picture-happy new wife accidentally snap a photo of thugs leaving a butcher shop. To get more information for a newspaper story they pose as farm workers and head out to the rustler's ranch. Eventually their cover is blown and they have to make a run for it.
