But there's an informant in the police department, who gets word back to Widmark. Aware that there's a stoolie in his gang, Widmark automatically assumes that his wife Barbara Lawrence is the guilty party, and beats her senseless. Eventually determining that Stevens is the "mole," Widmark methodically plans to kill Stevens during a holdup; by this time, however, the FBI is a step or so ahead of him. Remade in 1955 by Samuel Fuller as House of Bamboo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Essentially a propaganda piece with J. Edgar Hoover's fingerprints all over it. Still, it's taunt, methodical and filled with noteworthy performances. Not great but not at all bad.

    When you base a crime movie on actual cases they're either brilliant or boring. This one is in between.

    Richard Widmark offers his usual fine performance but the film is seriously dated.

    A noir that isn't necessary, but good.

    Factual and almost documentary-like in the beginning, this is the CSI of the 1940s, featuring on-site filming of the FBI's actual crime-solving tools and laboratory. But soon we find a character with which to identify with -- an FBI agent (Mark Stevens) infiltrating a city gang w... read morehich has already committed two murders in the town. But there is a mole in the local police department and the crime boss is getting hot on our man's trail. Will our FBI spy beat him to the punch? There's a symbolic twist in the end, and a good sense of increasing pace. I enjoyed this one a lot!

...engaging thanks to some expectedly hard-bitten dialogue and Widmark's charismatic, sinister performance. Full Review

The film noir gets its colorful flavorings from star Richard Widmark playing another psychopathic killer like he did in Kiss of Death. Full Review
