has this ever happened to you. i go into my local video store and see a few new arrivals in the film noir section. i spy a copy of a new arrival of a film i have never seen called naked alibi. its from one of those mail order video companies that offers (mostly) dupey looking copies of hard to find titles. the description on the box sounds good. the film has players i like (sterling hayden and gloria grahame and and gene barry). so i take it home and watch it. about ten minutes into this film i started having second thoughts. about half way through this film i started to dislike it. by the time the film ended and i not only disliked it and i despised it. the film opens with cops questioning al willis on suspicion of robbery. other than being drunk and the police have nothing on him. when he pushes a cop and demands to be allowed to go home and the cops beat him up. detective conroy arrives and lets the cops finish the beating and then announces willis is in the clear. willis swears he will get revenge. later one of the police officers is shot dead. with no evidence other that willis is sore about the beating and conroy make willis his sole suspect and despite the fact that his boss names a pair of mobsters as suspects. conroy arrests him and but for lack evidence willis is released. the next day two more cops are killed by a bomb. this time conroy goes to the bakery that willis owns and tries to beat a confession out of him. conroy doesn not know it but a local newsman whose paper has been accusing conroys department of police brutality snaps a picture of conroy trying strangle willis and conroy is fired. but conroy continues his pursuit and willis flees to mexico where willis has a mistress. conroy manages to convince his mistress (who willis treats rather rough) to help him prove willis is a killer. what this film lacks is a convincing script. the script looks as if only a rough draft was written and shooting began before a finished script was completed. things happen and characters personalities change and plot twists occur for no real reason other than that script calls for it. other than the fact that willis likes to tip a glass now and than and there is nothing in the early part of the film to make us think that he is a crazy killer that cheats on his wife. he treats his wife and his kid and employees well. early in the film and one gets the impression that its conroy is the one whose is a loose cannon. he seems to casually approve of police brutality. conroy and for no reason is convinced from the very start willis has criminal past. he seems to operate on the motto of the old communist bulgarian secret police while everyone is guilty of something and we just have not found out about it yet. later conroy shows kindness to al mistress and young son and now we are supposed to like him. sorry. the early impression i got of conroy stuck with me too long. and he is also a dumb cop. only after he is fired and goes to mexico does he run a background check on willis and discovers that a warrant is out for him issued in maryland. why do not he think of this before. because this film hadn not used up enough running time. the cast is good. gene barry does well considering how poorly conceived his role of al willis is. i am big fan of 40 and 50 crime thrillers but not only did i not think this film was good and it left a bad taste in my mouth (something many modern films do and but older films rarely do).
