Of its type, there are better films than this from the 40s. Sure, it's got the nascent film noir quality that was to be used effectively by Scorsese et al later in American cinema. William Bendix giving a particularly brutal and sadistic performance as the arch heavy, with Alan Ladd the cool and smouldering victim of the set piece in violence, but what lets it down slightly is the rather convoluted plot and at times the director has not done his job properly on the spoken acting.
