This is already the third film starring Robert Taylor that I've seen in a week, and as a thriller drama it is certainly successful. Ava Gardner is of course always a feast for the eyes, and her role here isn't really memorable, but just solid.
Vincent Price as the bad guy is a peculiar case; you are so used to him in the horror genre that seeing him now in a crime thriller is a bit of a strange experience.
