pushover be the introductory film for legendary hollywood actress kim novak and who have previously only be on screen for a few second between two separate movie . here she play a leading role alongside fred macmurray and phil carrey and e. g. marshall and and dorothy malone in a film which be really nothing special . it just another one of the early black and white crime noir movie that be very popular at that time . don not misunderstand my critiquing . i be not impugn the movie and i be just say that it about average and i have a good time watch it and so i give it three star out of four . novak play the girlfriend of a mobster who be smite with an undercover police detective play by fred macmurray . eventually and their secretive romance lead up in the death of two men and they must try to figure a way to get out of it along with the two hundred thousand dollar the mobster rob during a bank holdup after he murder a police officer . the only trouble be and one of the neighbor ( dorothy malone ) can identify macmurray character a the suspect . and the other cop be catch on . fred macmurray have always be one of my favorite actor and i often find myself want to see him play a villain . i really can not say for sure if i would describe his character in pushover a a villain but if that what you would consider him and it not the villain i want him to play . still and he do a fine job a do everybody else . there really not a whole lot to say about pushover because and again and it just like the other 50 crime noir film . nothing special and but certainly an effective and entertain method of spend one and a half hour .
