Sno-Line Reviews

SNO-LINE stars Vince Edwards as Steve King, a ruthless mafioso about to make a big cocaine deal with the hulking Duval (Paul Smith), who sends his female agent, Audrey (June Wilkinson), to infiltrate King's organization. Unfortunately, King has stiff competition from a redneck gangster, Bedford (Billy J. Holman). This would have been strictly summer drive-in fare if the film had ever gotten wider release, and taken as such, SNO-LINE is at least tolerable. The action scenes are passable and the huge Smith manages to bring some entertainment as he gleefully takes on half-a-dozen armed men by himself. Most of the performers, however, are barely competent. Wilkinson, the sex bomb starlet of such 1960s films as THE PLAYGIRLS AND THE BELLBOY and CAREER GIRL, hadn't made a film in 25 years and would have been wise to pass on this one. Director Douglas F. O'Neons' insistence on cross-cutting among several different subplots totally diffuses any dramatic tension.
