18 view cover	The Set-Up (1949) more movies like this directed by Robert Wise featuring Robert Ryan, Audrey Totter, George Tobias, Alan Baxter, Wallace Ford As shown by the clock face that opens and closes the film, The Set-Up takes place within a compact 72 minutes, with the action played out in "real time."

Claire Trevor discovers the bodies, but says nothing to the ... see all copies from £8.67! new only from £8.67!
