As in many films from that time , the death scene, in which someone, very extremely, repents, goes a bit wrong.
The only flaw of this excellent film that brings an atmospheric sketch of a chaotic day at the police station, with its small but painful dramas and also a very small touch of humor and finally with a touching relationship drama (which emphasizes on Catholic and Puritan America, or at least how it is presented).
Central figure is a very convincing Kirk Douglas as the zero-tolerance detective but also as the man disenchanted in his principles.
A nice piece of cinema, best as a fitting tribute to the passing of a great old Hollywood legend.

good drama in which we get to know the vicissitudes and personal problems of 1 detective at the police station
Douglas plays well here the hard policeman who can only see everything in black and white and that train of thought eventually becomes his downfall.
The rest of the cast is fine in their roles as puzzle pieces that shape its main story.
Excellent psychological drama.
