Entertainment Reviews:
Terse and tough, Kansas City Confidential is one of the great lean, mean B crime thrillers, with a bang-up opening, a deadly payoff and a shifting set of identities and alliances that keep pulling the rug from under our hero.

If Kansas City Confidential was a meal, it would consist of a plate full of spice - but no meat.

[T]he dialogue has an authentic wiseguy zing, and director Karlson milks the material for maximum intensity...

Rating: 3/5 --
It's a decent film, but its payoff just isn't up to the level of its buildup.

...The noir film in which director Phil Karlson first proved he had few peers when it comes to bristling B-movie melodramas...

Product Description:
KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL is a hard-hitting film noir starring John Payne as Joe Rolfe, an ex-con who's trying to go straight with a job as a deliveryman for a florist company. Unfortunately, a gang of thugs (the sinister trio of Jack Elam, Neville Brand, and Lee Van Cleef) led by a criminal mastermind (Preston Foster) have arranged a bank robbery using a van that looks just like the one driven by Rolfe--and the deliveryman takes the fall for the heist. This leads to Rolfe's search for the real thieves, a trail that leads to Mexico and an unexpected love affair with the gang leader's daughter (Coleen Gray).
