    OK B-level noir that longed for a bigger budget. O'Brien is fine as a cruel cop who goes too far, but Agar & English are ciphers. It's always fun to see familiar character actors (Carolyn Jones as a sex-starved bar girl is fine).
    But I especially like Emile Meyer as Capt of Detectives.

    Review by Paul Corupe ★★★½

    Nice little crime pic would make a good double feature with Bad Lieutenant. A dirty cop kills a bookie and bends over backwards trying to conceal it while the straight cop tries to out him. Pulpy fun, if somewhat inconsequential.
