I nearly forgot this crime film that I have in my library since forty years now, taped off from a French TV channel. It is a great powerful crime flick, pulled by two stars of the gangster film genre. Both were legends the previous decade(s) especially Edward G Robinson, who was a legend even before Alan Ladd. So this Warner film reunites them for the first and only time. That's a pretty good reason not to miss it. The plot is of course overused, predictable at the most, but adapted from a William McGivern's novel. And as an Alan Ladd's vehicle, only William Bendix is missing, he was a long time Alan Ladd's buddy on screen and maybe not only on screen.
