7/10
Strong pace, well staged action, fit Brady in above average B pic
18 February 2023
Director Charles Lamont puts together another effective docunoir on police addressing the growing organized shoplifting problem in California.

Scott Brady looks very fit, Mona Freeman very beautiful, stunning Andrea King the intelligent female criminal, Tony Curtis a baby-faced thoroughly evil robber/potential rapist/murderer, Charles Drake, Rock Hudson in small parts. Curiously enough, Curtis, Drake and Hudson would also all appear in supporting roles in another 1950 movie, the great Western WINCHESTER '73, starring Jimmy Stewart.

Good photography, state of the art 1950 police plane, vehicles, listening devices and operational gadgets, in effective docunoir.
