Great police procedural. I had not heard of this film, but it is a lot better than many better known films.

Excellent film! Kept me on the edge almost the entire time. I'm also a fan of film noir and I echo juzmebabe50's praises. It's very hard to find these films. I'm discovering so many good ones. I look forward to my far- too- distant retirement when I'll have more time to feast on film noir to my heart's content. Something about vintage black and white films and the shadows they create.
