Outside The Law (1956)

An ex-con (Ray Danton) is given the chance to redeem himself by going undercover and helping the U.S. Secret Service break up a ring of international counterfeiters, who will stop at nothing including murder. Directed by Jack Arnold (THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN), this Universal programmer (probably made to play on the lower half of a double bill) is modestly enjoyable. It's a pulpy crime thriller nicely shot in B&W by Irving Glassberg (TARNISHED ANGELS) that has no pretensions other than being what it is ..... a fast moving B movie with a cast of lesser but ingratiating contract players that gives you your money's worth. It's not the kind of movie you seek out (unless you're a Jack Arnold completist) but if it comes your way, it makes for a more than passable time waster. With Leigh Snowden, Grant Williams, Ramond Bailey, Jack Kruschen, Kaaren Verne and Onslow Stevens.
