Review by Gregory Wood ★★★★

good entry in this series mystery/crime/sleuth
Review by Joseph Mello ★★★

Boston Blackie is back!
Review by Jeff Williams ★★½

Fairly average and formulaic entry despite the directorial debut of William Castle and the Blackie character setting himself up for a murder rap. Nice seeing western regular, Arthur Hunnicutt, as one of the paroled cons.
Review by Arf Ortiyef ★★★
