After the FBI, the Post Office, and the NYPD, we travel north of the border to Montreal; where a police inspector (Edward G. Robinson) is suspicious about several deaths and a possible attempt to kidnap a nuclear physicist.
George Raft is the mobster doing a job for unknown masters to get money and back into the US. Audrey Totter is tapped to seduce the scientist to make the job easier.
Calling this noir is really stretching it. It doesn't have any of the dark seediness that one expects. It's more a straight police procedural.
Trotter is the most interesting character in the film. The rest just seem as if they are collecting paychecks.
