Robert Parrish

Let's review Cry Danger.

Cry Danger, directed by Robert Parrish, is a classic film noir from 1951 that delivers a gripping tale of deception, revenge, and redemption.

The film follows Rocky Mulloy, played by Dick Powell, a man recently released from prison after serving five years for a crime he insists he did not commit.

His release is thanks to the testimony of DeLong, played by Richard Erdman, a one-legged former Marine with a drinking problem who provides a dubious alibi.

... who did, um, [laughs] who did a lot of the, uh, Mata Bond's infiltration of the SMERSH base and all that stuff, very German expressionist kind of stuff.

The only stuff in the film is actually in Fleming's book, which is the baccarat stuff at Casino Royale and all the surrealism.

I think we had four or five James Bonds and seven directors.

Um, one of the directors was Robert Parrish, who was a lovely man, and, um, I had to, to blow up the Orson Welles layer with Orson Welles in it.

Um, and my father was, uh, at the time preparing, uh, another film called The Dirty Dozen, which I then switched onto.

But because he was working on those, I got to know Bob Parrish very well.

It was nominated for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Writing (Screenplay), and Best Film Editing.

Cinematography, Burnett Guffey, edited by Al Clark and Robert Parrish.

Music by Louis Gruenberg.
