Despite the silly old fashioned comic or melodramatic scenes, there are some incredible inventive sequences : the wedding (very visual), the unforgettable car accident with 2 tramways, the nightmare with the hand shadow, that horrible sound of police cars sirens, the fast paced editing of the gangsters faces just before their execution, the final shooting with machine guns with shield...and more and more scenes. And from 1931, maybe the first psychopath in criminal cinema with Gorio, played by Ricardo Cortez, having his letter G everywhere and even his bust. Without a few stupid sequences with stupid third characters, it should have been a masterpiece but remains an unknown Tay Garnett inventive movie with Arthur Miller as cinematographer (who did the wonderful Man Hunt with Fritz Kang).
