Kate Cameron New York Daily News The picture moves with speed across the screen and is convincingly acted by a well-chosen cast. Rated: 3/4 Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Philip K. Scheuer Los Angeles Times Blanche Yurka, absent from the screen for five years, dives into her role with such relish, such good old-fashioned melodramatic relish, that she has no problem scuttling off with the picture as well as the swag. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Cecil Smith Chicago Tribune Unfortunately, the material is not even nervously exciting until the final shooting. The G-men know it all the time, and the criminals are merely rather uninteresting hunted folk for whom we have neither sympathy nor concern. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports Just another gangster melodrama. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Shadow Stage Photoplay Blanche Yurka turns in a wonderful performance as Ma. Ralph Bellamy and Jack Carson are excellent G-men. Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Film Daily Staff The Film Daily J. Edgar Hoover's book, Persons in Hiding, makes exciting screen entertainment... Blanche Yurka plays the role of the mob's queen, and it is a characterization both skillful and unusual. Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
