Portland Exposé
Who knew good-natured Portland, Oregon could be so hard-boiled? It certainly looks that way in Harold Schuster’s 1957 noir with Edward Binns as a barkeep caught between two hungry mob bosses. Carolyn Craig, the world-class screamer from House on Haunted Hill, plays Binns’ wife and she’s got plenty to scream about when threatened by some particularly vicious gangsters. The film garnered more than its share of positive reviews, even if the unexpectedly controversial movie would be banned in Portland.
