When his best friend is murdered while pursuing jewel smugglers, U.S.
customs agent Cliff Holden (Dean Jagger) takes over the case, flying to
Europe to board the same return flight as the chief suspect and
following the trail back to a New York gang. John Carradine co-stars as
the suave Doc Spencer. Shot almost entirely on New York City locations,
C-Man has the gritty, documentary-style look of the independent noirs
director Joseph Lerner made with his wife and producing partner
Geraldine. The film was produced by Laurel Films and distributed by
Film Classics, and is in the public domain.
