Life at Stake: a thrilling story of love, lust, money, and revenge. Thanks to stupendous lead actors in the gorgeous Angela Lansbury and criminally underrated Keith Andes, Life at Stake is a well above average film from the nineteen fifties. In a cinematic era filled with cheesy effects, Life at Stake is a heart and soul film noir thriller whose engine is human emotion and drama. Andes plays a brilliant architect, and his jealous professional peers set out to murder him. Though he suspects them, he’s not sure about the seductive Angela Lansbury who is ******** advertising herself to him. A delicious blend of deceit, fear, and courage boils to a frenzy as Life at Stake explodes to its finish.
