Down Three Dark Streets - 1954 - 6/10

Broderick Crawford as FBI agent who takes over three cases belonging to another agent.
This is the noble, patriotic FBI version and rather hard to watch without today’s’ lens of cynicism.
One case is of extortion, another a gunman on the loose, the third is a pigeon taking the fall.
Not really a Noir, but a crime procedural, with several Los Angeles locations.
(I was especially smitten with the bygone LA subway.)
Martha Hyer memorable as sassy, uncooperative moll.
