**** out of 5
"For a nickel I'd grab him and shove both my thumbs in his eyes."
Director Henry Hathaway has successfully nailed the blend of documentary-stylings and exciting noir drama here, with this story of Victor Mature as a crook who's got a good heart but is reluctant to turn stool pigeon on his fellow criminals. The film has a great cast, but it is Richard Widmark who owns the film as the giggling, psychopathic killer who Mature must run from after turning stoolie.
