What Riff-Raff Is About

Set in Panama, the film puts a private detective against a gang trying to take over the oil fields. What everyone is chasing is a map, and the map sits somewhere so visible that nobody looks at it. Ted Tetzlaff's 1947 picture leans toward the adventure side of noir, dark interiors on one hand and hot exteriors on the other. Pat O'Brien plays the detective, with Walter Slezak and Anne Jeffreys alongside. Short, quick and unpretentious studio work that starts and finishes inside eighty minutes and does not promise more than it delivers.
