A strong cast with Steve Cochran and Howard Duff as two plainsclothes cops and Ida Lupino as the girlfriend make this a very entertaining film noir if the mid '50s. The cops assigned to the Robbery Detail steal half a robber's loot after the robber is killed in a high-speed pursuit. It's a case of good cop, bad cop as one if them has an attack of conscience while the the wants to go the whole way even if it means murder. A good script and the addition of Ida Lupino who never put in a bad performance in a long acting (and directing) career and old reliable Dean Jagger as the boss cop combine to make for an entertaining little drama indeed.
