Affable, good-natured, easy come easy go telephone engineer, electronics whizz kid and human dynamo Edmond O' Brien finds himself swiftly drawn into the sordid world of corrupt gambling, in this highly charged, seldom static thriller. A not uncommon case of a seemingly decent individual tarnished by the lure of power and money.
Recognizing that he is currently the hottest property on the circuit, he soon generates the interest of a nationwide syndicate. An immediate spark ignites between O'Brien and siren Joanne Dru, unhappily married to a high profile syndicate member.
With a fitting irony, O' Brien and Dru's attempted getaway leads them to the Boulder Dam for the movie's tense, shocking climax.
Worth plugging. 711 Ocean Drive's competently maintained energy and smart, perceptive story telling should be sufficient to turn on most fans of the genre.
