IMDb profile

Private Hell 36 is a 1954 black-and-white film considered film noir. The film, directed by Don Siegel, was one of the last feature-length efforts by Filmmakers, a company created by producer Collier Young and his star and then-wife Ida Lupino.

Two L.A. detectives Cal Bruner (Steve Cochran) and Jack Farnham (Howard Duff - Lupino's future husband) get in over their heads when they decide to split up thousands of dollars they found on a recently killed counterfeiter. To make matters worse, they are assigned by their police captain to look for the missing cash. Things get even worse when one cop gets romantically involved with a money-hungry nightclub singer.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

When Farnham decides to turn honest and hand the money over to his superiors, the other cop decides to take it all.

The racetrack scenes in the film were shot at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California.
