JUKE GIRL is a very pleasant and entertaining surprise. The main interest in that truckers farmers story is the constant tough and high energic rhythm with punchy dialogues, characters moving fast with lot of camera movements, and an exceptional casting. There are no weak characters, they are all tough, my favorite being Howard da Silva, Ann Sheridan, but the most surprising is Richard Whorf being especially frightening sometimes. Ronald Reagan is also charismatic with a cool attitude and fast gestures. The only negative point is some weird twists but the story moves so fast that you may forget them. Juke Girl is the second story by Bezzerides in the truck business after "They drive by night" and before "Thieve's highway".
