Featured review
Well Above-Average 1940s Crime Drama
This is not a film noir. It has a dark side and many of the components of film noir. But it's a standard crime story, exceptionally well executed. (Oh, no pun intended, as it involves prisons!) Apart from Jackie Gleason in a relatively minor role, the only recognizable player is Julie Bishop. She's very appealing as the devoted wife of a man we see being paroled as the picture begins.
He doesn't have things easy. Old friends he'd prefer to have left behind keep turning up. A cop is keeping a partially benevolent but steady eye on him.
This stars and is generally populated with minor Warner brothers performers. There is no really big name, though handsome Richard Travis was possibly being groomed as one. Or observed to see if he could become one.
He didn't make it but the movie hangs together very well. It's short and tightly written, filmed, and edited.
