That's the kind of little crime flick that a moviegoer should not miss. It is so efficient, taut, gritty, with a Howard Da Silva excellent, juicy, terrific in this villain character. It is of course fast paced, as were the Paramount crime movies of this period, starring Anthony Quinn, Lloyd Nolan, J Carroll Naish. Short but riveting. The only weak point is that here, you have the unavoidable good guy who survives in the end with his sweetheart. Such a shame. Warner Bros was really a specialist of this kind of films, gangster plots with over the top casts. D Ross Ledermann remained without any ambition as a director and that's also a shame.
