I saw this film for the first time in 2022, some 75 years after it was made, and thought it was amazing. The character study of the police, the bank robbers, and the people who were affected by the crooks' actions was very well done and so believable. This movie was about trust, betrayal, and revelation. I am thankful there were not any car chases or shootouts; those would have ruined the movie. The copy of the print I watched had a few flaws / glitches in it, but that did not distract from the film itself. I would put this film up against any other crime drama where the criteria were trust, betrayal, and revelation. It had me on the edge of my seat. Loved every minute of it.
And yes, my review does not include any plot lines - that would ruin it. You have to watch it yourself, not knowing what will happen next. That is the real pleasure in watching this film.
