Manhandled (1949) DVD-R
Starring Dorothy Lamour, Sterling Hayden, Dan Duryea, Irene Hervey, Phillip Reed
Directed by Lewis R. Foster
Print: black/white
Runtime: 97 min.
Genre: film-noir
Print Quality: B
Produced by Paramount's Pine-Thomas unit, Manhandled is a no-nonsense film noir with a
well-chosen cast. Small-time hoodlum Karl Benson (Dan Duryea) uses and abuses several
innocent people in his efforts to get ahead. Among Benson's victims is Merl Kramer
(Dorothy Lamour), who doesn't find out about her boyfriend's perfidy until it's almost too
late. Sterling Hayden co-stars as insurance investigator Joe Cooper, who likewise exploits
poor Merl, albeit for a good cause: Cooper is on the trail of some missing jewels. A subplot
involves a married couple (Irene Hervey and Alan Napier) and the wife's would-be lover
(Phillip Reed). Manhandled's level of tension never lets up, not even in its final scenes.
