Featured review
End of an era
Flawless except for one thing. In White Heat Cagney had Virginia Mayo and in Key Largo Robinson had Claire Trevor. To have any gravitas here as a washed up old-time gangster MacLane would have had a significant love interest on the outside. Although his career was made in law enforcement roles, MacLane was a very bad guy in G-Men, killing his wife played by Ann Dvorak. Here again his answer to most problems is to kill someone. In comparison Lawrence Tierney is the rational one. The two girlfriends allotted here belong to Raymond Burr and Lawrence Tierney and without whom there would have been no point at all, the amazing Carol Forman and Marian Carr in her debut.
