DEAD RECKONING" FULL
OF CRACKING ACTION

Humphrey Bogartl Lizabeth Scott
Co-starred in Columbia's Dead
Reckoning" It's a tough, rough
hard-hitting drama of man and
woman dynamite. It's the story OF
a girl who refuses to be pushed a.
round, and it's the story of a guy
who doesn't trust anybody, espec-
tally as lush and as lovely as Liza
beth Scott. Dead Reckoning stars
Humphrey Bogart as the man who
doesn't appreciate the finer things
in life like looking at a doll
cry and then taking the rap for
a murder she committed. Dead
Reckoning" co-stars Lizabeth Scott
as a girl with jasmine in her hair,
a girl who belongs in another mans
dream Dead Reckoning" is the
film which introduces that top tune
of the year, Either It's Love Or It
Isn't" Humphrey Bogart appears at
his best in a two-fisted, hard-bitten
fighting role, and blonde, beauti-
full Lizabeth Scott proves her right
to the stardom she shares with Bo-
CART. Don't miss Dead Reckoning
