PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

After a pair of society swells meets their end thanks to a fatal combination of drunken joy-riding\u00a0and counterfeit tires,\u00a0the\u00a0forces of justice swear to bring down\u00a0the\u00a0mob\u2019s bootleg rubber racket once and for all. Thanks to war-time rationing, a sweet new set of rims is rarer than bacon, butter and sugar and\u00a0the\u00a0rackets are ready with a \u201ctire insurance\u201d scheme, selling dangerous counterfeits as brand-new \u2018Bluestones\u2019. Up-and-coming cop\u2019s cop Pat Harrigan (RICHARD TRAVIS) is tasked with bringing\u00a0the\u00a0rubber rats to justice, but unfortunately there\u2019s a brother rat in\u00a0the\u00a0mix \u2013 Pat\u2019s fast-living sibling Mike Harrigan (CHARLES LANG). As\u00a0the\u00a0two brothers \u2013 one cop, one criminal \u2013 begin to warily circle one another, a sinister secret threatens them both. Complicating it all is Kitty Kelly (ELEANOR PARKER),\u00a0the\u00a0foster sister both men have grown to love.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Last Ride<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and includes a okay sounding Dolby Digital Mono track. The picture, as these DVD-R tends to be, has plenty of dust, spec and other flaws.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Overall, The Last Ride<\/em><\/strong> is a fun 1940s-era crime-drama with some solid performances by Richard Travis and Charles Lang, as well as an on-the-rise Eleanor Parker. This DVD release from the Warner Archive Collection has flawed but satisfactory video and audio transfers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
