For a relatively unknown noir this was quite gripping. The only negative was Mickey Rooney and his annoying face. I liked the storyline however and the tension mounted slowly and then suddenly threw itself in the audience's face in one fell swoop. Jeanne Cagney was suitably nasty and manipulative as the femme fatale and really stole the film for me. I suppose in a way Mickey Roney suited the wimpish part he played but I would really have liked to see someone else in the role.
