I saw I gave this two stars the last two times I watched it - now it's up to two and a half. I enjoyed it more. The cheapness. The oddness. The cheekiness of a film padded from a 30 minute siege play, with some musical acts, Roger Corman stock company, Abby Dalton singing badly, The Platters singing two songs at the top and never being seen again (how would Corman have used them more? as a hero?), Mel Welles as a beatnik agent (very Charles Griffith), Barbara Mouris as a boxer's wife, Beach Dickerson as a boxer, Ed Nelson as a person who gets killed.
It's not really believable Miller can talk down gangster Russell Johnson at the end but there's lots going on. The film has a charm and it's only 60 minutes.
