No Questions Asked (1951)

 Largley by accident, lawyer Barry Sullivan ends up becoming a middle man, negotiating the return of stolen goods between the mob and insurance companies. Future U.S. Senator George Murphy is the police detective out to put a stop to this scheme, while Arlene Dahl and Jean Hagen form a love triangle with Sullivan. Rather good actually, though a cop out with the ending makes me wish the film had stopped 60 to 90 seconds earlier; Sullivan should have died, not revived at the last minute. ***
