Let's not be so quick to dismiss Jack Bernhard as "B" director of gritty film noir movies. In addition to "Decoy" and "The Hunted," he was responsible for "Blonde Ice" and "Violence."

"Blonde Ice" is familiar to many of us. It is about a social climbing newspaper columnist who is willing to murder her way to the top. "Violence" is not as well known, but it reunited Bernhard with Stanley Rubin. It is an antifascist tract, produced before the focus of political themed movies shifted to the Red Menace. A group of crooks use a veterans' organization to plot their political advancement while bilking their members and using violence to enforce their policies. It is a quickie from Monogram Pictures.
