Boston Blackie's Rendezvous quite transcended its B-picture origins, and
was easily the best of Columbia's "Boston Blackie" series. In this one,
crook-turned-sleuth Blackie (Chester Morris) tries to track down
homicidal maniac James Cook (Steve Cochran). This time it's personal:
Cook has been committing a number of violent murders while posing as
Blackie. Stuck in the middle is Sally Brown (Nina Foch), who is kidnapped
by the villain so that Blackie will lay off. When asked in later years about
Boston Blackie's Rendezvous, Nina Foch couldn't remember too many
plot details, but did note with pride that costar Richard Lane (cast as
Blackie's perennial nemesis Inspector Farraday) later became a
prominent TV sportscaster.
