| Comments: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Some fine film noir, and an early example of the style, though not as pronounced as the style would become. One of the most intriguing aspects of the film is the genuine lack of decency. Except to greed, there isn’t one character who embodies any true loyalty. | ||||||||||||||||||||
