bad film noir and if you could call it that . it a if the star involve be sedate through the whole film and and let not talk about the plot . the bad performance edward g. robinson ever give in a film and with his emote over his partner death with as much passion a if a waitress serve his coffee black instead of with cream . and his bad decision be responsible for his death to boot . and geroge raft first he sort of a good guy gangster and then he turn completely cold blood brush off the death of a completely innocent 21year old woman by his partner and then he turn to be a good guy again because the writer couldnt think of anything else . i love old black and white movie and but do not waster your time with this stinker .
