Criss Cross

Carlo ties UP with Duryea, q Los
Angeles gang leader, while Duryea
goes back to his old job on the
money truck only to find his
heart Is not In his work.
In one way or another. fate
continues to throw them together
until they end up in q deal to rob
the payroll truck. 1t is q trick
that has not been worked In %
years-the script writer Is care
full to point out-but q love such
as this one thinks it will ind
a way.
BY the time Lancaster and Miss
De Carlo are in a position TO dis
cover the untruth Of this assump-
ton. they're quite dead.
"Criss Cross" Is no worse than
b dozen other pictures of its kind,
but coming after 50 many Of the
others, it seems to suffer from
their defects as well as its own.
Except for McNally's detective,
the rest of the performers walk
through their roles like somnam-
bulists. This is not the way to
convince casual spectators like
moviegoers that Miss De Carlo
was worth the price Lancaster
paid for her affection.
Panama, in line with. its busi-
ness decline, has q drastic drop In
