What a wonderful little crime programmer from Columbia Pictures I just discovered. And a very rare one too. Ralph Murphy did not made many thrillers but mainly westerns, corny films indeed. This one is surprising by his pace, characters and story. A real film noir, even grade B.
Dane Clark plays here a poor fellow chased by the police in a witness murder charge. He is a former gambler and goes to his ex wife's apartment to hide from the police. But the gal is molested by a man who is accidentally killed by our lead. So, Clark tries to disguise the murder in car accident.
So, the investigation begins, with a detective who falls for the gambler's wife...
The climax on the waterfront is excellent.
