Autentico cine negro, vemos a un Bogart sin el apogeo con el qu elo conocemos y a un edward G. Robinson en sus mejores tiempos, muy buena!
Any movie with Edward G. Robinson has to be good/ He is one of a handful of actors that has never appeared in a bad film. This is a fine gangster drama, much better than average. Typical Warner Brothers production at that time, good quality and professionally done.
This was a pretty good movie actually. It seemed a little short though. The action was good and the humor was real swell too. Robinson's performance was certainly something to remember; he played so well off of Bogart along with own scenes. Good stuff.
One of the less famous Warner gangster pics still holds water in the 21st Century, for those with the patience to withstand the inherent, expected shortcomings.
