Car chase of the week:



BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAWN - one of my favorite films you've never heard of. Mark Stevens (DARK CORNER) and Edmond O'Brien (DOA) are patrol car cops who work the graveyard shift and sleep during the day. Both fall in love with the same woman - their sexy-voiced dispatcher. I really liked the idea of a movie where the character's days and nights are swapped, since I worked graveyards at Safeway Grocery for a couple of years.
