Hayes
Directed by Fred F. Sears
Print: black/white
Runtime: 83 min.
Genre: drama
Print Quality: B
Not long after starring in Las Vegas Shakedown, Dennis O'Keefe headed
eastward to appear in Chicago Syndicate. This time, O'Keefe is cast as
honest accountant Barry Amsterdam, determined to get the goods on
Windy City gangster boss Arnie Valent (Paul Stewart). Insinuating himself
into Valent's confidence, Amsterdam quietly begins gathering evidence.
For a while it looks as though Amsterdam will go the way of his
predecessor in Valent's operation, who ended up sleeping with the
fishes, but in films of this nature justice usually prevails. Allison Hayes,
who later played the title role in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, is quite
effective in the normal-sized part of the daughter of a slain accountant,
while Abbe Lane plays the obligatory mob mistress (Lane's then-husband ,
bandleader Xavier Cugat, is also in the cast).
