Storyline

An L.A. insurance detective starts to get involved with a girl he is increasingly attracted to, even though he sees her as a chiseller. She makes it clear that her tastes are too expensive for him, so he sets about getting a lot of money quickly if illegally. Perhaps too late, she starts to find that she is content with him just the way he is.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Short Review

Roadblock is a decent film. It is about an honest LA insurance detective Joe Peters who becomes corrupt after falling in love with sensual gold-digger model Diane. Charles McGraw and Joan Dixon give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Harold Daniels did an alright job directing this movie. I liked watching this motion picture because of the drama.
