An unforgettable classic!, 11 October 2002
10/10
Author: funkyfry de Oakland CA

Superb chemistry between the leads, tight direction and editing, make this a top-notch detective/political thriller. Donlevy is the politician, Ladd his faithful muscle, and Lake the woman who can come between them. Many twists and turns -- it has the feel of good radio suspense. A very fast and chic hit for the forties, a classic for times to come.
