The film never recaptures the excellence of its opening sequence when a pianist is killed but this is a fine programmer - Joan Harrison produced a lot of above average stuff -which has the pleasures of its time and genre: tough dialogue, crisp black and white photography, slangy dialogue.
There's also George Raft, had his last peak, walking around being tough - shoving muscle men in swimming pools - but also having scenes with a little old lady (was this Raft's idea?) Lyn Bari is fun as always as the girl. Bright dialogue from Jonathan Latimer - slightly confusing plotting. Enjoyable.
