    Written by John Chard on Sun Jun 21 2015
    I never knew a crooked road could look so straight. The Bribe is directed by Robert Z. Leonard and written by Marguerite Roberts. It stars Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner, Charles Laughton, Vincent Price and John Hodiak. Music is by Miklós Rózsa and cinematography by Joseph Ruttenberg. Federal agent Rigby (Taylor) is assigned to the island of Carlotta to investigate the illegal trafficking of war-surplus aircraft parts. He quickly finds out that it's not just the weather that is hot... Frustrating! Out of MGM, The Bribe bites off more than it can chew. On one hand you have a cast guaranteed...
