The Man Who Dared (aka City in Terror)

Old soldier Ulysses Porterfield (Charley Grapewin) was dining with his daughter’s family when a garage explosion killed their political reformer neighbor. The clan’s willingness to testify about the stranger they saw fleeing, however, bought them peril from a corrupt local government looking to ensure their silence. Remake of 1931’s "The Star Witness"--which still spurred a lawsuit from recently-ousted L.A. mayor Frank Shaw--co-stars Jane Bryan, Elisabeth Risdon, Henry O’Neill, Dickie Jones. AKA: "City in Terror." 60 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
