Yes! Some love for the deserving Charles McGraw -- an actor I adore.

 

Here, from Steve over at the excellent Noir of the Week:

 

"I consider 'Roadblock' to be Charles McGraw’s best film noir. RKO’s B-movie alternative to Robert Mitchum was certainly in better crime thrillers. 'The Narrow Margin' for one is today considered a classic – and it is. Before becoming a leading man, McGraw appeared as a supporting actor in a slew of films like the great 'T-Men' and 'The Killers.'

 

"I never doubted McGraw’s acting ability – I always enjoyed in everything he was in. Seeing 'Roadblock' for the first time surprised me however. Who knew he could play a love-sick sucker? McGraw's surprising performance is the reason this one stands out."

And now I need to track see "Roadblock." I have it here and I can't wait.
