🍿Bodyguard (1948) is a fast-moving RKO Film Noir starring Lawrence Tierney as Mike Carter, a hotheaded homicide detective who loses his badge, takes a private bodyguard job, and soon finds himself framed for murder.
Directed by Richard Fleischer, this compact 62-minute crime thriller came early in a remarkable run of Film Noirs that would eventually include Follow Me Quietly (1949), Armored Car Robbery (1950), and The Narrow Margin (1952).
We look at the story, the cast, Robert De Grasse's black-and-white cinematography, and where this lesser-known RKO production belongs in the ALL FILM NOIRS PROJECT.🍿
