Starring Mickey Rooney, the 1951 noir film 'The Strip' follows a man involved with gangsters as he falls in love and tries to save his lover and himself.
The Strip is a good movie. It has great music and an interesting story, as well as classic noir-style black and white cinematography. Louis Armstrong and his band are given multiple full music scenes That are delightful.
And, like all good noirs, there's a twist ending, too. You'll just have to watch the movie to find out what it is.
I watched this movie when it was on TCM because it had an interesting plot, as well as Mickey Rooney and Louis Armstrong. And it was the right decision, because The Strip is a good use of 85 minutes of your time.
Jazzy, stylish and fascinating, The Strip is a noir B-movie success that is worth the watch.
