I don't mean George Sherman has made more crime films easier to find, but on the contrary he has made not other crime films, than this one, except maybe THE SLEEPING CITY, a semi documentary expose taking place in a hospital. But I higly prefer this one, co starring John Payne and Dan Duryea in a true crime film, directed by a western specialist, and a prolific one. Dan Duryea and John Payne literally steal the whole show by their presence and performances, and Shelley Winters as a gun moll is so exciting; she was rarely so thin in her later films. A good gem to catch from a promising George Sherman.
