Or Preston Foster at his peak, as he will be several years later in KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL. Robert Florey also made crime flicks as this one for Paramount, and Louis King too, same kind of short, fast paced, brutal , with no waste at all stuff, co starring the likes of Tony Quinn, Lloyd Nolan, J Caroll Naish, Robert Preston.... So this one made by FOX is a pretty good surprise; at first I thought it was from Paramount. Gangster B movie typical from the thirties and forties. One decade later, Phil Karlson could have done the same film.
