Bill T 03/04/2023 Interesting and entertaining, like all Noirs are, but I wouldnt neccessarily call it successful. This yarn has an ex-con trying to keep clean, but he's thrust into a caper that goes wrong by some of his old cronies. His cronies use him and his wife as a safe house while they figure out the next job, even though he wants nothing to do with it. And in the meanwhile, yes, Sterling Hayden, who has the mentality of "Con, Ex-Con, they're all the same" cracks down on our ex-con and what he's up to. It all works up to a point, the conclusion is just a wee bit too sloppy and quick (and maybe too convenient), the lead characters do a none too believable mood change, and we're left with a bit more questions than usual with movies like this. Nice try, but not perfect. See more 06/17/2022 City Hall, maple fig, Glendale See more deke p 11/22/2021 1954!! Good cast. Young CHARLES BRONSON looked very much like when he was much older. Good reviews for this film NOIR. Much filmed on and about Los Angeles streets. I could hardly recognize PHYLLIS KIRK in this much different role. CRIME DETECTIVE movie. Saw on MOVIES CHANNEL 11.21.21 See more 01/30/2021 I don't get the current lowish score for this film. If you like film noir, what's not to like? Sterling Hayden, Charles Bronson...Keeps the tension, moves right along... and if you live in LA, you will love seeing some of China City and a whole lot of Brand Blvd. in Glendale in this. See more 03/29/2020 Solid crime picture with the great Sterling Hayden as a tough investigator trying to solve a robbery/cop killing by a trio of hoods who involve another ex-con against his will. Film also features Charles Bronson's first significant role. See more 07/19/2016 Well-made film noir, tightly written and directed. See more Read all reviews
