Given the restrictions that the Hays Code entailed at the time, this is a fairly candid crime film, loosely inspired by the then controversial lawsuit against gangster boss Lucky Luciano.

Bette Davis is of course perfect for the role of a tough prostitute, although she was not allowed to be referred to as such in the film at the time. It takes some getting used to seeing Humphrey Bogart as a prosecutor, but he plays his role with conviction.

By today's standards, the film has some shortcomings, but that does not prevent it from still being a solid gangster film with a good story and ditto performances. Still worth it.

Good film about ladies who testify against the gangster boss of the nightclub where they work and who are no longer certain of their lives in the run-up to the trial.

I was not aware that the story was based on the Luciano trial, but the entire story came across as quite authentic and the sometimes usual romanticization of gangsters in films was largely omitted here.

Eduardo Cianelli plays a cold strong role as Vanning and Davis and Bogart also do a good job .
