  • A carefully planned bank heist by hoodlum Harry Wheeler (Paul Richards) and his partner leaves a policeman dead and $210,000 stolen.
    The investigation headed by Police Lt. Carl Ekstrom (E.G. Marshall) identifies Wheeler as the culprit, and Eckstrom charges detective Paul Sheridan (Fred MacMurray) with an undercover assignment to befriend Wheeler's sultry girlfriend, Lona McLane (Kim Novak). A powerful attraction develops between Paul and Lona, and soon they have a torrid affair.
    Eckstrom, Paul and his partner, Rick McAllister (Philip Carey) stakeout Lona's apartment, and wait for Wheeler. Lona leaves the apartment, and Paul follows her. She drives to his apartment. He meets her there, and she asks if he is a cop. Paul admits to it, but insists he's been seeing her for personal reasons. Lona admits she's frightened of Wheeler and insists she didn't know about his criminal activities until after the bank robbery. Lona asks what would happen to Wheeler if she turned him in. When she suggests that she and Paul would be happy with the robbery money, he angrily demands she leave. Paul returns to the stakeout and discovers Rick watching Lona's neighbor, a young nurse, Ann Stewart (Dorothy Malone).
    Paul promises Lona he will get the money when they apprehend Wheeler, if she will run away with him. Lona agrees and reveals Wheeler will be meeting her.
    The next day, Wheeler calls, and Lona departs. Paul has Rick follow her. Detective Paddy Dolan (Allen Nourse) is keeping watch in a squad car outside this complex peeping-tom stakeout, and the detectives spot Wheeler entering Lona's apartment building. Paul and Paddy arrest Wheeler on his way out. Wheeler leads them to his car. Paul shoots Wheeler while Paddy is examining the bag of money, then claims Wheeler was about to attack Paddy. Paddy grows anxious and suspicious when Paul suggests they hide Wheeler's body, and refuses to give Wheeler's car keys to Paul.
    Later, as arranged with Lona, Paul slips into her apartment and waits for her call to assure her all is well. Upon leaving her apartment, however, Paul runs into Ann, then heads back to the stakeout room. Rick returns shortly, followed by Eckstrom, who sends Paul out on a pretext. Eckstrom informs Rick that he telephoned the stakeout room for an hour and received no answer. Rick admits that as he was leaving to trail Lona, he noted Paddy's empty car and saw him going into the bar and suggests that Paul may be covering for the older detective.
    Meanwhile, Paul finds Paddy, and instructs him to hide Wheeler's car. Certain that Paul is after the money, Paddy refuses and, pulling his gun, declares his intention to report his failure to Eckstrom. When Paddy's car phone rings, Paul lunges for the gun, which goes off, killing Paddy.
    Paul telephones Lona for another meeting. Meanwhile, Ann, who knows about the police presence, runs into Rick and informs him that she saw a man coming out of Lona's apartment, who Rick assumes was Wheeler.
    As Lona takes Rick on a fruitless drive, Paul moves Wheeler's car and dumps the body, which is discovered just as he returns to the stakeout room. Eckstrom and Rick then question Lona, who reveals nothing. When Ann spots Paul heading toward Lona's apartment, she reports it to the police. Realizing Ann has recognized him, Paul picks her up at gunpoint, then with Lona, leaves the building. Eckstrom and Rick receive Ann's report as Paul goes outside and notices two squad cars around Wheeler's car. He sends Ann to the trunk to retrieve the money, but Rick and another detective intercept her and have a shootout with Paul as Lona watches in dismay. Lona is arrested and a wounded Paul apologizes to Rick, who escorts Ann back to her apartment.
    A 1954 American film-noir crime film directed by Richard Quine, produced by Jules Schermer, screenplay by Roy Huggins, based on a novel by Thomas Walsh and another by William S. Ballinger, cinematography by Lester White, starring Fred MacMurray, Phil Carey, Kim Novak, Dorothy Malone, and E.G. Marshall. MacMurray and Marshall also appeared together in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954).
    Kim Novak's first major performance, and she receives an "and introducing" credit. She was only 21 years-old. Her character, Lona, spoke as if she had lots more life experience. Before working on this film, Novak's two uncredited films were at RKO, "The French Line" (1953) and "Son of Sinbad" (1955).
    Philip Carey starred in the movie advertised on the theater marquee, "The Nebraskan" (1953), also released by Columbia. Carey also ogled a nurse through a pair of binoculars in "Mister Roberts" (1955).
    The motion picture was adapted from two novels, Thomas Walsh's "The Night Watch," which was serialized under the title "The Killer Wore a Badge", in the Saturday Evening Post from November 10 to December 15, 1951, and William S. Ballinger's "Rafferty." Roy Huggins went on to great success creating television series, including "The Fugitive", "Maverick", and "The Rockford Files."

    Thanks for posting this. I had not seen it before.
    "Introducing Kim Novak!" She was only 20 years old here and, as of this writing, she's still with us at 90 years old! Four years later, she'd be cast in Hitchcock's "Vertigo." She retired from her acting career in 1991 and now lives in rural Oregon.
    Fred MacMurray is 45 years old here. Six years after this movie, he swore off playing tough/bad guys after the public's reaction to his character in Billy Wilder's "The Apartment." Thus began his role as "Steve Douglas" in TV's "My Three Sons."
    Emmy-winning E.G. Marshall is 39 here. 1954 was another busy year for him. He was in ten productions that year alone including "The Caine Mutiny." Three years later, he would be in "12 Angry Men." He was in almost 200 productions during his long career right up until his death in 1998 at 84 years of age.

    An assembly of great actors. An excellent film noir with the incomparable anti hero/villain played by Fred MacMurray, playing a similar role which he created in the film classic ‘Double Indemnity,’ made ten years earlier. Phillip Carey, was a talented and accomplished actor, who played heroes and villains during his time as an actor in Hollywood. He should be commended in his role - as should EG Marshall, a wonderful character actor, who appeared in major supporting roles in countless films. To add to this illustrious supporting cast, the delightful Kim Novak, who always played the glamorous but tough minded and feet on the ground film actress.

    For those familiar with and who enjoy film noir it's hard not to enjoy, to varying degrees of enthusiasm, "Pushover" -- from the typewriter of Roy Huggins who within a few years became huge in television via "Maverick," "The Rockford Files," "The Fugitive." "Alias Smith and Jones," "Run for Your Life," "Hunter," etc.
    "Thank you again, 'Donald P. Borchers,' for another good show."
    An oversight, a minor plot point, I caught within the movie's exciting climax -- as bullet-riddled Fred MacMurray lies bleeding, yet talking still, on the rain soaked street's pavement, his partner Phillip Carey leads Dorothy Malone away back to her apartment. Yet it's been established and reinforced that Malone is a registered nurse -- so of course she would 'see what she could do' to aid the wounded man in their immediate proximity while all await the ambulance's arrival.

    I'm a big fan of film noir, never seen this till today and it is terrific! Fred MacMurray, who may have been cinemas all time heel from such films as "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Apartment" is back at it in a role quite similar to "Double Indemnity" as Fred is once again led astray by a sexy woman to engage in crime. This time the femme fatale is Kim Novak, who looks absolutely gorgeous in her film introduction as Fred becomes her "Pushover" Great script by Roy Huggins, who also created "Maverick" and "Rockford Files." Plenty of cigarettes and big cars!

    You would have thought that Fred MacMurray had learned his lesson from Double Indemnity that murdering for a dame you just met and somehow fell in love that very first day wasn't a good idea. ......I LOVE film noir but this movie kept me laughing at just how unrealistic it is. The cops barge into the apartment and start plundering thru drawers and making her answer questions without any warrant whatsoever violating her rights making it an illegal search and seizure. At the end with this big shootout one cop car pulls up then proceeds to slowly escort the dame into the backseat no cuffs,no pat down and no rights read. After that everybody just walks away in different directions no crime scene,witnesses,ambulance for poor Fred! Just everybody leave its over LMFAO!!! I LOVED IT!!!
