    In terms of acting and visuals, this has to be one of the finest ever, especially Wirdmark's acting. But the story, as bland and unconvincing and the occasional one-liners are rather odd at times, especially at the end but the shoot on location and the effect of it was really quite a knock-out at times.

    Richard Widmark's first movie and one of Victor Mature's most engrossing films. Far superior to the Nicolas Cage remake.

    Widmark is hysterically great and there's some nice cinematography and NY locations - unfortunately the pacing is glacial, the point of view is uncertain and Victor Mature...well he's really dull.

    To be fair, this type of docu-noir probably packed a lot more kick in the years before TV took the judicial procedural as its meat and potatoes.

    Moody, scary film noir with that much celebrated, intense and terrifying Richard Widmark performance. You can't really say enough about it, actually.
