Apparently this was reamed by a lot of critics at the time, which reaffirms my befuddlement at what sort of criteria were used to judge genre pictures in the pre-Farber/Cahiers days. For all I can tell they were throwing darts at a one to ten scale. It's weird how standards can change to the point of unintelligibility in less than a century. Anyhow, perfectly adequate crime drama.
