Gang boss Raymond Burr greases the skids for Dennis O'Keefe to make a prison break in spite of Burr setting him up for the rap and owing him $50k. Claire Trevor desperately loves O'Keefe helping him escape and narrating her emotions effectively throughout the film. Marsha Hunt is the attractive good girl reminding O'Keefe that deep down he is a decent guy. It's a bit predictable and some scenes stretch credibility. However, a terrific cast, good noir dialog, solid camerawork (watch how Burr is filmed and don't miss Trevor and the wall clock near the end of the film) and a number of film noir situations creating tension add up to a good viewing experience for those of us enjoying this genre.
