re: #289 Decatur Deb

There is a 1950’s crime drama in which the bad guys, escaping across the desert with victims, hole up in a house full of fresh mannequins.

“Split Second” was on TCM a week or so ago. Murderer breaks out of prison with help from others and ends up holed up in a ghost town near an atomic bomb test - along with hostages. The day before a planned detonation.
