John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis 07/09/2010
6/10
Even though it is not a great movie in and of itself, it had a clear influence on later films and television shows. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 07/06/2010
It's a richly layered and dense, yet compact movie that sadly loses a bit of its force in the final stretch. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 07/01/2010
... a classic mix of Hollywood docudrama and tabloid exploitation. Go to Full Review

Mark H. @Zeppo Oct 19 Tedious 'expose' of the Mob. Conte picking up a paycheck for little to work with. See more Steven M Jul 2 Not so hot, but the cast is top notch. See more Alain E @AlainE 12/17/2024 Ridiculous. Deserves to remain in obscurity. The acting, the stupid voiceover every few minutes , the holes in the plot. Free on YouTube but they couldn’t pay me enough to watch it in its entirety. See more Gary M 10/25/2024 Crawford in peak form calling everyone pigs, and screaming as tough mob boss. Conte with the genesis of perfecting the smooth criminal he'd carry all the way into The Godfater. Bancrost amazing, best of them all. Steamy as a fiery mob boss' daughter. A perrenial in gangster flicks, a personal fave Mike Mazurki finally gets a meaty part with lots of dialogue and range. Classic 50s noir. See more catherine c 06/19/2024 Love this nostalgic film noir classic. Great story and dialogue. Clever direction and cinematography. The femme fatales are fabulous. Perfect for a movie night. See more Bruce W 06/02/2024 Moves along fast enough. Crawford and Conte both put in top-notch performances, Bancroft a nice added bonus. The marriage proposal scene is one you'll never forget. A wee bit too much dialog, especially in the final 40 minutes. Unlike a number of other film noirs released in 1955, this movie isn't one that that strikes the viewer as "being way ahead of it's time". Worth a watch but not a film you'll need to watch more than once. See more Read all reviews
