Between Midnight and Dawn (Prowl Car, 1950)

"Your girlfriend seems kinda worried about something."

"So she's afraid of cops. So what's that prove?"

"I'll tell ya later."

O'Brien looks a little old to be a potential romantic lead in the love triangle that develops in the film‚ but actually he #would have been 34 at time of shooting (!) so i guess it's just literally his face... idk. just one of those guys who looks older than he #was. Mark Stevens (and his chin) are a much more likely love rival for Gale Storm's charms (and as an aside‚ how great a stage name is #Gale Storm? excellent choice Gale‚ real name Josephine Cottle). script delivers a few punchy lines but this is fairly disposable fare tbh
