Robert Ryan stars as a racketeer and Robert Mitchum stars as the one incorruptible cop on the force, who's determined to bring the mobster to justice in this classic police drama. Top Racketeer Nick Scanlon (Ryan) has anyone he can't bribe murdered until Captain McQuigg convinces Scanlon's moll (Lizabeth Scott) to talk. But McQuigg must still face his fellow cops, who are on Scanlon's payroll, before he can arrest Scanlon.

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

The fractured approach isn’t the result of an offbeat angle as much as it’s the victim of a sloppy screenplay.

...a predominantly underwhelming and uninvolving endeavor...

It is a film noir that, before an hour passes, takes away all my interest with its mechanical plot, the clichés and the repertoire of ductile characters of the police procedural. [Full review in Spanish]
