The Saturday Thriller: 711 Ocean Drive

on BBC One London

Feature films with suspense, danger, excitement
Starring Edmond O'Brien, Joanne Dru, Otto Kruger

Hidden telegraphy results in rich rewards for a gang of crooked bookmakers until their wireless engineer becomes too ambitious.
This is one of a series of 'message' movies made during the Kefauver regime. Allegedly shot under police protection, it has a tough documentary quality although, as is usual in this genre, the moral seems to be not that crime doesn't pay, rather that crime pays handsomely but greed doesn't.
