Loan Shark (1952)
7/10
Hard-Boiled B-Movie...Stylish George Raft Vehicle...Above Average
26 August 2021
George Raft Riding His Stone-Faced Star Status to the End.

Here, at 57, Plays an Ex-Con, Ex-Boxer, that is a Hit with the Ladies and Hits His Share of Hoods.

He's Not Only an Ex-Pug, He's Proficient in Judo too.

A B-Movie that Visually has some Unexpected Style and Flourishes.

Grounded in a Tire-Factory with Plenty of Machinery and Production Techniques Inside the Plant.

A Good Cast with Paul Stewart and Dorthy Hart and some Familiar TV and B-Movie Faces.

It's a Fast-Paced with a Goodly Amount of Contrivances as Raft Bullies HIs Way into the "Trust" of the Mob.

Overall, a Better than Average Late-Life Raft Vehicle and Early-Fifties Near Noir.

Worth a Watch.
