Unfortunately for this film, only a few people saw it, it seems, and few appreciated it, but it is one of the most impressive films of Mulligan, specially the last scene, with Jason Miller sitting outside his office, the keys in his hands, and dead, because he has nowhere to go, and with his friend talking to him, not knowing yet that he is not alive. It is a gangsters movie in a different way that gangsters movies are: it is the end on an era, the fall of a little man in the gang, beloved by his friends, but ignored by his chiefs, that had ordered his death. One thinks that this "camera piece" was in advance of its time, and it is a pity that more people everywhere ignores one of the masterpieces of Mulligan.
