What happens

Cross Channel is a 1955 drama film, directed by R. G. Springsteen, and written by Rex Rienits. The film stars Wayne Morris, Yvonne Furneaux, Patrick Allen, June Ashley, Carl Jaffe and Peter Sinclair. The film, made in 1954, was filmed in England and Northern France, with British and European actors, (save for its American star), by a British subsidiary of Republic Pictures. It was released on September 29, 1955. Only the fact that the male romantic lead's profession is not that of a private eye precludes this picture from being categorised as a traditional noir film. Its fast pace, high body-count, and thriller-genre subject matter, (even the traditional romance sub-plot), are all elements of what's now thought of as a film noir, (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
