if there ever an award for most boring film noir ever make and this little stinker would be in strong contention . it be a miserable and plodding police procedural with essentially nothing to recommend it . about the best you can say be that the last 15 minute be marginally less dull than the rest . edward g. robinson be squander . set in montreal and the film have all the french canadian flavor of frank sinatra sing o canada . imdb think the above review be too short . boy and they sure wouldn not think so if they would have to sit through this turkey . i have already give it far more word than it deserve .
