Not enough of Edward G. Robinson, who can do more with the bags under his eyes than most actors can do with their whole faces. Too much of Ginger Rogers in a horrible hair-cut and a horribly strained effort to play the "bad good girl." In fact, that's too mild; she's just horrible in this. Brian Keith does a very creditable job. There are some well played small parts - the policewoman, the sister, Lorne Greene as the gangster, who is a revelation for those of us who have never seen him in anything ... Read More Rating: - B movie with academy award acting. "Tight Spot" was a gem. Unexpected, to me, after the early part of the movie seemed to have an inevitable ending. It didn't turn out that way. Rogers was perfect for the plot, which was perfect for Rogers. Her actual age, 45, was perfect for the age of a society reject who was dragged from prison for one purpose: testify against a murderous criminal. The plot twists weren't brilliant, perhaps, but I did enjoy them, as well as the acting of all the key players. From the acting standpoint, ... Read More Rating: - A competent vehicle for Ginger Rogers, with a solid performance by Edward G. Robinson Tight Spot has a potentially taut story going for it, as well as some noirish photography, a skilled performance by Edward G. Robinson and a solid, conflicted performance by Brian Keith. Unfortunately, it also is primarily a vehicle for a big star who was facing age and a new generation of movie goers. The film also was adapted from a stage play. Much of the movie feels declarative, with far too many opportunities for Ginger Rogers to "act." A key witness who can send vicious crime boss Benjamin Costain ... Read More Rating: - Witty dialog, interesting performances. Tight Spot is a crime suspense movie with a bit of a comedy-drama feel from Ginger Rogers' crackly performance as a streetwise and otherwise wise convict. The situation: Prosecutor Edward G. Robinson has convict Rogers moved from prison to protective custody in a hotel room, guarded by cop Brian Keith, to persuade her to testify against mobster Lorne Greene. Rogers delivers witty dialogue by the truck load in spite of the dangerous situation, and finds a new dance partner in Brian Keith. The witty banter between ... Read More Rating: - Over verbose but competent thriller Tight Spot was based on a play and it shows.Most of the action takes place on a single set and there is more dialogue than usual in thrillers of this type. Ginger Rogers plays a prisoner brought to the City by prosecutor Edward G Robinson in the hope that he can persuade her to testify against a mobster whom he is seeking to get deported.She is reluctant and the movie deals with attempts to persuade her ,and the bid by the mob to put the issue beyond all doubt by killing her.Another plot strand covers the growing ...
