The Get-Away (1941)


MGM
Directed by Edward Buzzell
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Rebellious convict Robert Sterling turns out to be an undercover FBI agent hoping to befriend cellmate Dan Dailey, the leader of a gang responsible for a string of payroll robberies. He even goes as far as a breakout, eventually ending up in Chicago where Dailey's gang, and personal doctor, nurse him back to health after he is shot by pursuing cops. Donna Reed then shows up and spoils things, with the plot taking a left turn into a romantic melodrama. She can't decide if she loves Sterling enough to turn in her no-good long lost brother Dailey.
