DIAL 1119 (1950). Pretty good noir of a Disturbed Military Veteran who returns to a Town, but with no Good intentions. Marshall Thompson (FIEND WITHOUT A FACE, CULT OF THE COBRA, IT! THE TERROR BEYOND SPACE and TV's DAKTARI) is effective as the loose Cannon, reminding Me very much of Howard Unruh, the NJ vet who went on a shooting spree in his neighborhood for no discernible reason. ***
