Laconic RKO Potboiler
Richard Winnington was a bit unfair on George Raft when he accused him of just going through the motions “without a flicker of expression or removing his hat”, since he takes his hat off quite often in this involved but uninvolving tale of bail bond officers, the Dangerous Profession of the title.

It’s actually far more laid back that the rather dramatic title indicates and too brightly lit to qualify as ‘film noir’. Pat O’Brien and Jim Backus (who also supplies the opening narration) seem to be enjoying cynically sauntering about in big suits more than Raft himself.

monotony to the flow
Joe Farley (Pat O’Brien) and ex-cop Vince Kane (George Raft) are bail bondsmen partners in L.A. Vince gets a call from police detective friend Nick Ferrone. Nick is investigating Claude Brackette. Claude’s wife Lucy is Vince’s old flame and she convinces him to sign a bail bond for her husband despite failing to raise the required 10%.

This is stylized pulp. It’s mannered noir. It’s deliberately hard at all times. All of that is great but the story is wading through mud. It takes way too long to get to the meat of the story. It’s the Muzak. It’s the monotone world. It’s very static. It’s a lot of verbal dancing but in a circular motion. There is a monotony to the flow. It’s going and getting nowhere quickly. It doesn’t have the action to pump up the intensity until the final five minutes. It’s pulp in many sense of the word.
