Undercover Girl (1950)

Posing as a drug buyer, a New York policewoman (Alexis Smith) infiltrates a narcotics ring in order to take down the criminals responsible for her father's (Regis Toomey) death. Directed by Joseph Pevney (TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR), there's not much one can say about a potboiler like this. It's an efficient movie that connects all the obvious dots till it reaches its predictable ending. Alexis Smith's Warners contract was over and without Warner Brothers behind her and giving her co-starring roles opposite the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant and Errol Flynn, her freelancing career provided her with fodder like this. It's the kind of movie that played well on the late show at 2AM when you couldn't sleep back in the day. With Scott Brady, Richard Egan, Gladys George, Edmond Ryan, Gerald Mohr and Angela Clarke.
