Allegedly the favorite film of its Producer, Jack Warner, this film dealt with virtue gone awry and its inevitable consequence(s). It's not Madame Davis' magnum opus, but it is one of her better films.
For Eduardo Ciannelli, it's perhaps his finest performance as a gangster. He's so convincing, he makes you forget about "Bogey", who appears in this one as a rather milquetoast lawyer.
It is a stab at film noir, though not a complete one. It is replete with dark images, fog, and bad guys. It's dated somewhat over the decades, but it still has enough punch to be convincingly entertaining.
