Las Vegas Shakedown -- Las Vegas Shakedown

Inner Sanctum -- A man fleeing the police after having committed a murder hides out in a boarding house in a small town.

On the lam from a bogus murder rap, Korean War veteran Jim Henry (Richard Conte) hits the road and hitches a ride with a freelance glamour magazine photographer (Joan Bennett) and her No. 1 model (Wanda Hendrix) -- with the police in hot pursuit. As the manhunt closes in on the fugitive, he uncovers a shocking connection between one of his traveling companions and the murder victim. Reed Hadley co-stars as the detective leading the dragnet.

This compelling Western follows murderer Pete Black (John Payne) as he and five other convicts escape and forcefully commandeer a wagon train of devout settlers, headed by preacher Jacob Karns (Dennis O'Keefe), while they make the dangerous trek to California. Pete stops other cons from stealing the pioneers' money, attracting the attention of widow Rose Billings (Arleen Whelan), and contemplates reforming when the journey's end leads to crisis.

Ray Milland ("The Lost Weekend") and Gene Tierney ("The Razor's Edge") are a childless couple who adopt a baby, only to discover that its father was a murderer. This sentimental tale has a happy ending as nurture proves more important than nature.

Erik Von Stroheim plays arrogant vaudeville gun trick-shot artist the Great Flamarion, who tours the country with his assistant Connie (Hughes) and Al (Duryea), who are married. Connie feigns extreme attraction to Flamarion, and tricks him into "accidentally" murdering her husband during Flamarion's show. However, after the fact the trecherous woman rejects Flamarion and runs off with another man. Von Stroheim's performance is exquisite and flamboyant.
