An Iconic Cast of Warner Bros. Gangsters and Other Actors Worthy of Note are All Brought Together in This Typical Social Commentary that the Studio was Well Known. This One is About Ex-Cons Not Getting a Fair Shake in the Unemployment Line.
Notable for Not Only Humphrey Bogart in One of His Last Pictures Before He Went Into the "Big Time", but George Raft Riding His Now Unfathomable Star Power, a Very Young and Handsome William Holden in His Second Film, Flora Robson as the All Loving Mother, Paul Kelly and Marc Lawrence as Hoodlums, and the "Babes", Jane Bryan and Lee Patrick. All Doing Typical Good Work.
The Movie is Never Preachy and Seems to be Even Handed on its Subject Matter. The Characters are More than One Dimensional and Overall a Pretty Good Movie. There is a Rousing Robbery and Escape Sequence with Cars Screeching and Bullets Flying.
Overall, Slightly Above Average with the Cast Elevating it Somewhat to the Must See Category. Nothing, Story Wise, is Special. Still It's Got Something for Those Attracted to Slick WB Gangster Flicks and Fans of Raft, Bogart, and Holden.
