DESCRIPTION:

Iconic screen tough guys Edward G. Robinson and George Raft square off for hard-hitting drama, portraying utility company workers tough enough to defy death and each other while working power lines more treacherous than snakes. It will take some kind of woman to stand up to that much manpower. Luckily, screen goddess Marlene Dietrich is just that kind of woman. She plays an ex-con and nightclub floozy who marries one of the men - but falls hard for the other. With three great stars and plenty of breathtaking high-tower action under the taut, muscular direction of Raoul Walsh (White Heat, High Sierra), Manpower is "a cinematic depth charge" (Bosley Crowther, The New York Times).
