A terrifying mobster-driven adventure comes to Buzz Classic Movies on Saturday night with a streaming presentation of “The Chase,” starring Robert Cummings.
The 1946 classic has earned a 40% critics score based on five reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 52% audience score on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter.
“Unemployed veteran Chuck Scott (Robert Cummings) suffers from hallucinations and raw nerves. When he returns a lost wallet to violent mobster Eddie Roman (Steve Cochran), the man offers to hire him as a chauffeur,” says the Rotten Tomatoes summary of the movie. “Not only is the job a stressful one, but Chuck gets mixed up in a plot to help Eddie’s wife, Lorna (Michèle Morgan), run off to Havana to escape her cruel husband’s grasp. But when Scott is framed for murder, they must run from both Eddie and the authorities.”
“Director Arthur Ripley… turns Havana into network of underworld operatives just waiting to send the next unwitting victim into a web of terror,” wrote critic Sean Axmaker for Stream on Demand.
“The Chase” streams at 8 p.m. Saturday on The Signal’s streaming channel, The Buzz, available at buzzscv.com as well as streaming platforms including Roku and Apple TV.
