Originally produced in the United States as a motion picture in 1953.
Full screen (1.37:1).
Gig Young, Mala Powers, William Talman, Edward Arnold, Chill Wills.
Film noir police thriller juggles around five characters through a particularly bad night in a Chicago police precinct: Johnny Kelly, a stressed out cop ready to crack; Sally 'Angel Face' Connors, a lounge singer looking for a way out; Hayes Stewart, a thug-for-hire who's dying to move up in the syndicate; Penrod Biddle, a smooth and corrupt district attorney; and Sgt. Joe, an honest cop trying to keep Joe on a straight path.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A different kind of noir.. submitted by irenzero on June 17, 2016, 1:53pm On the surface this is a standard seeming cop on the edge story.. but there's more going on and it's worth a look.. not only for the story, but for the look, and to see relics of the era.
