Kansas City Confidential

An ex-con trying to straighten out his life gets framed for an armored car robbery. When the case against him is dismissed for lack of evidence, he starts an investigation of his own to find the guys who set him up. John Payne is a bit of a stiff as the hero, but the band of bad guys he goes after, including Lee Van Cleef and Jack Elam, give this moody mystery a sharp edge.

I miss great character actors like Jack Elam. Thanks for reminding me.
