pretty good picture about a man be in the wrong place at the wrong time . if the murderer want to whack the dame and why not just off her and let the cop try to figure out whodunnit . involve all these character in the plot be dangerous and not to mention all the mouth you would have to worry about stay shut . why do the depressed lady go out to the bar when she could barely sit up in a chair or say a word . be there really cop out there who be wise cracking and gum popping and grin ape who approach a suspect in such a glib manner . this probably play well back before the wheel be invent and but it be so corny and unbelievable today . catch the manic drum break by elisha cook while his frenetic hammering never once match the recording . his mad facial expression make up for the off kilter stick sync .
