The Lineup (1958)


 

In San Francisco, a psychopathic gangster and his mentor retrieve heroin packages carried by unsuspecting travelers. 

Leave it to Don Siegel to turn a regular police investigation story into a tough, tense thriller skillfully photographed on real locations with a highly suspenseful ending.

Halliwell*: "Energetic, polished movie version of a popular TV series, San Francisco Beat." 

Maltin**1/2: "Cult favorite with fans of director Siegel, despite the fact that it's a pretty ordinary police procedural."
