This is a great thriller about how the prime suspect of a murder (Dixon Steele) is saved by a neighbor who gives him an alibi. This blossoms into a relationship and as a result the focus of the film is on how the couple can cope with a relationship based on a murky past. The main role is brilliantly acted by Bogart who is helped by a script which is amusing in places despite its dark theme.
Great performances and an easy to follow script. Overall, one of the best gangster movies ever. The only issue to be had with this film, is possibly the length will lose some viewers concentration.
