Good but not great film noir, with some solid and witty scenes and decent acts.

It is strange in such crime films from that time that an evildoer is rather presented as a victim of society. Once, however innocently, ended up in the circuit and saddled with a criminal record, it is virtually impossible to be reintegrated into normal society (prestige, work...) and there is only one way out...

Good film in which a criminal is sent to jail for the umpteenth time after a jewelery robbery. Although little new under the sun, a great plot for a film-noir like this. Victor Mature does well in the lead role, but it is Richard Widmark who stands out in his maniac debut role. A small 3.5 stars.
