Pushover

The promise of a femme fatale's love lures an honest middle-aged cop down the road to ruin in this noirish crime drama. The trouble centers around a bank robber and his gang who have just knocked-off a bank for $200,000. To find the crooks and the loot, Officer Paul Sheridan (Fred MacMurray who played a similar role a decade before in the controversial Double Indemnity) is assigned to carefully monitor the activities of the gangster's bombshell-blonde moll Leona (Marilyn Novak, who later became a star after she changed her first name to "Kim") in hopes that she will lead him to the robbers' lair. It doesn't take long for the slinky seductress to cast a romantic spell over the aging Sheridan and after she has him firmly hook, she suggest that he murder the gangster so that the two of them can abscond with the money.
