Thanks Matt for an entertaining and informative review.

I love these low budget crime quickies, but usually they're in such poor condition., they're difficult to watch.

I tried to get through Blonde Ice on youtube once, but gave up.

Classicflix is to be commended.

For the visual quality alone, this seems well worth the price to me.

I'm very pleased with my disc. It's a massive upgrade from the YouTube video and I'm grateful to Classic Flix for releasing it.

After Amazon kept delaying my shipment of this Blu-ray, I noticed they had it in stock, but they still didn't ship my order. I then cancelled my order and reordered it again from Amazon. Two days later, I received the Blu-ray a few cents cheaper than my original order. Anyhow, I plan on watching this on Saturday in place of no TCM "Noir Alley" this month.

Thanks for the review, Matt. Your writeup was basically on point with my thoughts after watching this "B" movie this weekend. A good-looking disc produced by Classicflix. Yes, the movie is mediocre at best, but I was entertained for 74 minutes.
