    alan ladd is terrific in this noir. i get the feeling this could have been better without having to stay within the boundaries of the code of the time. great set designs as well.

    Next to Shane, this has got to be Alan Ladd's best performance. It is also the best teaming of Ladd and Lake. Alan Ladd gives a wonderful performance as the cold and laconic but ultimately caring hitman Raven. Raven is likeable in this movie because the people that double cross him in this film are so unlikeable. Great film noire classic.
