Hit and Run is a 1957 American crime film noir directed by Hugo Haas starring Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas and Vince Edwards.
The movie was Moore's final film appearance; she gained popularity earlier in the 1950s, in B-movie film noirs, most released by Columbia Pictures, for which Moore was a contract player.
Gus Hilmer, a moneyed garage and junkyard owner, falls in love with and marries a showgirl named Julie, who's many years younger than he, and this causes tension between Hilmer and Frankie, a young auto mechanic whom he has befriended.
Julie begins a romantic affair with Frankie, then plots with him to get rid of her husband. On a dark, remote road, Frankie runs down Gus with a car, killing him. He and Julie are free to be together and run the garage, or at least they think they are until Gus's twin brother turns up.
John Zaremba, who played the doctor, would, four years later, play hospital administrator Dr. Jensen on Ben Casey, starring Vince Edwards.
