A year after his Oscar nomination for "Kiss of Death," Richard Widmark gives another sinister performance, this time as an owner of a lounge-bowling alley who frames his partner (Cornel Wilde) for robbery when the latter wants to marry his girl, a very sultry Ida Lupino. Lupino, with light hair, can't sing a note to save herself, but she still knows how to put over a song in this film noir production.
A year after winning the best supporting actress award for "Gentleman's Agreement," Celeste Holm has a routine part in this film as a cashier, with no guy of her own, who gets caught up in Widmark's mayhem and winds up with a bullet in her arm.
With the interesting cast, you know what can happen when Widmark is at his evil best and a gun is put in Lupino's hand.
