ROADBLOCK. RKO Radio Pictures, 1951. Charles McGraw, Joan Dixon, Lowell Gilmore, Louis Jean Heydt, Milburn Stone. Story by Richard Landau and Daniel Mainwaring (as Geoffrey Homes. Co-screenwriter: Steve Fisher. Director: Harold Daniels.

   A hard-nosed insurance investigator falls hard for a girl, the kind of girl who wants nothing but money out of life, hardly the kind of money an insurance investigator makes, and he decides to do something about it.

   And he makes a mess of it,  especially after the girl decides it is really he she wants, not the fur coats. Joan Dixon does not seem to have had much of a Hollywood career, and I don’t see why that should have been. Her dark seductive eyes are very nearly in the Gail Russell class.
