Watch this and see why Martin Scorcese called it "the film that has influenced me most".
if true, i will have to add this to my watch list
You callin' me a liar?
Here is the quote:

“This is the film that has influenced me most. I had a clip out of it in Mean Streets but had to take it out: it was too long, and a little too esoteric. And there’s a getting-in-shape sequence that’s very much like the one in Taxi Driver. The spirit of Murder By Contract has a lot to do with Taxi Driver. [Director Irving] Lerner was an artist who knew how to do things in shorthand, like Bresson and Godard. The film puts us all to shame with its economy of style, especially in the barbershop murder at the beginning. Vince Edwards gives a marvelous performance as the killer who couldn’t murder a woman. Murder By Contract was a favorite of neighborhood guys who didn’t know anything about movies. They just liked the film because they recognized something unique about it.”

The greatest training film ever made:
Resisting Enemy Interrogation (1944)
A production of the Air Force's First Motion Picture Unit, Resisting Enemy Interrogation not only has a suspenseful script but also makes use of all the resources Warner Brothers (Reagan's old studio) can provide. Many of the cast members will be familiar to movie buffs.
Remember, this was not produced for general audiences. It was made specifically for US Airmen to watch before shipping out overseas.
