Richard Carlson (Creature from the Black Lagoon) portrays Gil Stanton, a gung-ho journalist who may have crossed ethical boundaries when his series of newspaper articles leads to even further tragedy.; ; ; ; Try And Get Me is a first-rate noir with more on its mind than thrills – which there are plenty of – as it navigates heady themes such as journalistic ethics and vigilante justice.
