A British production where the story took place at New York mixing American and British actors to conceal the hard accent from the island, in others words an attempt to make an Americanized movie on England, maybe for be easily accepts on profitable USA's marketplace, they strive stiffly to do an American slang with expected outcomes, the story is complex and unusual, but works somehow, moreover engrossing, nonetheless the Grisson gang on early movie disagree to make part of a robbery of a diamond necklace, due it shall draw attention from everybody about the victim's high society position, it's seems a wrong move for an eligible gang, also too much brutal, cold with gratuitous violence, a true counterpoint over Slim Grisson (Jack La Rue) sudden changing, further the journalist Fenner (Hugh McDermott) plays an amoral character as easily seen in many sequences, Miss Blandish has a strong sex appeal, although a lack of the intellect when she decides stays with poisoned Slim Grisson, put him in unremitting jeopardy as much as the police as by their greedy mates, the bystanders assess readily no future for both at sight, rather predicable, in between we can see two colorful characters, the Doc (Macdonald Parke) guided by psychological instincts and the skinny Eddie Schultz (Walter Crisham) a sort of an stereotyped tough gangster, worthwhile take a look!!
