George Raft does a superb job as "Police Lt. Joe Warne" investigating whether a man committed suicide or was murdered. What I liked about this film was the way it made Lt. Warne seem so human even though he was a hard-as-nails police detective as well. Truth be known, it's not often you watch a tough detective who lives with his mother. I also liked the performance of Lynn Bari who played the main suspect named "Francis Ransom". Now, since this is a mystery I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I will say that if a person enjoys a good film-noir then they might want to check this one out some day. I'd also like to say that I realize there are some folks who don't like movies filmed in black and white. I understand that but frankly they're missing a whole lot of good movies if they use that as a reason not to watch them. This film is one of them.
