This film is among the group of "B" crime noir movies that Columbia made in the early 1950's such as "The Big Heat" and "The Mob". It has the same taught story and good acting. Clearly nearing the end of her film career, Ginger Rogers is very good playing a mob witness that has had enough of the justice system and needs to be convinced that by telling what she knows in court, she can do something good for maybe the first time in her life. It should be noted that Edward G. Robinson was trying to recover his lost career after being black-listed by HUAC and "B" movies were the best roles he could get until he was cast by Cecil B. DeMille in the Ten Commandments after the release of this film. Brian Keith, best known as "Uncle Bill" in the late 1960's TV show "Family Affair" is also quite good in his role as a police Lt.
score 8/10
