Late 50's Jazz Noirs Are Different than Golden Era Noirs
Hybrid of lounge lizard and game show jazz plays during the opening where a quiet Los Angeles main street's lined with outlet stores across from a used car lot, and John Bromfield's Nick Dunn is so honest, he ironically passed the acid test for crooks: That is, the main (though polite and unassuming) heavy, rolling stolen vehicles through his own larger lot, sees that Nick is the man to trust... Not trusted to be dishonest but to remain faithful and, like any Film Noir outing, it takes something desperate and personal for a good man to cross the line... In this case, his child needing surgery causes Nick do what Joi Lansing and her incredible body couldn't initially persuade. And by the time our husband/dad's up to his neck in HOT CARS, delivered to the illegal, seemingly untouchable operation where Nick is stuck as middleman, he's the sole target of a determined police investigator, with no way out... Or is there? And does freedom have a price? And who's gonna pay? The best scenes occur before he gets hounded and right after he's on board the seemingly perfect, well-paying gig as the fitfully cool, underrated movie and TV actor John Bromfield, with all the ingredients of a casual b-actor, nails the put-upon working man persona, with class to boot: A nice fit for caustic, melodramatic lines like: "That's the problem with dopes like us," to his incredibly-trusting wife, without sounding corny, or cliché: "Too much month at the end of our money." In cult movie retrospect, Bromfield played the flirtatious scuba diver (targeting pretty Lori Nelson who prefers humble John Agar) in REVENGE OF THE CREATURE. Though he wasn't able to "reign in heaven" as a leading man in mainstream features, he's a sublime b-leading man and does a particularly fine job here, looking handsome and boxy-muscular under well-suited work clothes... Set in the cut-and-dry mid-1950's, the vacant, bare-boned, industrial locations, shot in fitfully sparse B&W, lends to the overall purgatory aesthetic as our sexy, full-breasted, manipulative "femme fatale" in Joi Lansing lights up every room. Meanwhile, her boss, Ralph Clayton as Mr. Markel... with Mark Dana's tall, square-jawed and very lethal Smiley Ward at his beckon call... make for a solid if subtle, professionally villainous trio... Within the Film Noir template (although more in the plot-points and character motivations than cinematography and lighting), instead of being an otherwise kindhearted anti-hero, Nick's a solid clean slate, working for the wrong side while that extremely pestering cop (Dabbs Greer) is the main "antagonist" albeit in protagonist's clothes: most of the second act suspense occurs between these two proverbial "good guys," one masked with an effective, royal flush poker face... And after a slight twist, there's an intense HOUSE OF BAMBOO style action climax with Nick and an armed Smiley battling-it-out on a fast-moving, rickety rollercoaster (in Ocean Park Pier, Santa Monica). Meanwhile, an 11th hour stampede of cops move in on "poor little me" Joi Lansing and her gentleman boss, who can't flirt or pay their way out of how these kind of movies all wind down and end up: Learning that harsh, inevitable lesson that crime doesn't pay... at least, not for very long. ... show more

Efficient Noir Story Telling
They don't mess about much in this efficient story about how the dark can sound so inviting movie. The femme fatale tries to get her hooks in and true love prevails. So parts of this have aged better than others. Car dealers still need to be handled with care. The promise of a quick buck still comes with strings attached. And who you do business and life with matters. Hot Cars is a solid low budget noir designed to fit into a busy viewing or showing schedule. In that is succeeds. And it is still worth a watch today. Solid average movie with a bonus star for not wasting time and aging well enough. Survival points count. ... show more

Worth the 60 Minutes
This isn't the best Noir movie you'll find, but it's worth the 60-minutes to watch it. This film is more of a hybrid of a standard crime movie and Film Noir, so keep that in mind if you're picky (or snobbish) about a movie truly being Film Noir or not. It does have some of the aspects, like scenes with neon lights at night, a femme fatale, and a crime-based story, but that's about it. The story isn't all that complex, nor very imaginative. Kansas City Confidential this is not. Still, for a 60-minute watch, it's was worth it to me. I like these short movies from the '50s. To see an entire movie in the same amount of time as watching a TV show. One thing I particularly liked was all the actual vintage signage. That was slick. Added a nice flair. 3 STARS ... show more
