First there's the criminal on the run who kills a gas station attendant. Laven did make a couple of decent films (See The Rack and Slaughter on 10th Ave), however this is not one of them. Broderick Crawford as Agent Ripley takes over three cases for a murdered FBI man in "Down Three Dark Streets," a 1954 film also starring Ruth Roman, Marisa Pavan, Martha Hyer, and Max Showalter. Good Los Angeles locales, especially the "Hollywood" sign usage in the first. Arnold Laven's direction is both tight yet controlled, his use of natural locations both highly suspenseful and imaginative. Help Center Contributor Zone Polls. Was this review helpful? An urban wheeler-dealer gets involved in organized crime, corrupt city politics and graft while falling in-love with the fiancée of the newly elected mayor. The next involves a car-theft gang which Ripley breaks up by using one of the gang, Vince Angelino and his wife Julie. The whole scene is poorly done lacking in any tension or fear. Stripping the man's paranoia away from him, Hoover did bring a certain order and professionalism to the FBI and when they stuck to crime and criminals as opposed to just amassing files on the world they did a good job.

Enjoyable, but left you wanting a little more of your favourite storyline. Touching on criminal profiling and forensics, it was a little like the birth of CSI and Criminal Minds. Down Three Dark Streets is a 1954 film noir crime film directed by Arnold Laven and starring Broderick Crawford and Ruth Roman. The last case involves Kate Martell, the victim of an extortionist who threatens to kidnap her child unless she pays him $10,000. STREETS uses the semi-documentary approach (heavy-handed voice-over narration) and is more of a whodunit, while EXPERIMENT is a real suspense-filled thriller with the villain identified much earlier. 1 out of 1 found this helpful. Kenneth Tobey, (FBI Agent Zack Stewart was assigned to these three cases and was killed before he could solve this crime. For once, Broderick Crawford is not overacting, but actually falls well in line with the character of this almost neo-realistic documentary quality of an FBI-investigation into a seemingly hopeless tangle of murder cases: the one FBI-agent who was on the brink of solving one of his three cases gets murdered, leaving all three cases hopelessly jammed without clues. But even then, it is much more chilling. Like any other law enforcement agency when one of their own is killed in the line of duty everything stops until the perpetrator is caught. A unfaithful wife plots with her lover to kill her husband, but the lover is accidentally killed instead. Enjoyed viewing this black and white film from 1954 starring some great veteran female actors, namely: Martha Hyer, (Connie Anderson), who looked just like Marilyn Monroe and was being controlled by a mysterious man who keeps sending her all kinds of gifts, but she never goes out of her apartment.

FBI story about Brodrick Crawford working three cases at once trying to find a killer who may also be an extortionist. The transfer looked outstanding; sharp with excellent contrast.

Lots of L.A. exteriors, good storyline and interwoven plots/characters. DOWN THREE DARK STREETS, with its trio of cases for the FBI to solve, was the template eight years later for EXPERIMENT IN TERROR, reduced down to just the extortion plot.
