John Garfield & Geraldine Fitzgerald star in this light film noir involving a courtship, a con game & a man trying to get out of the racket from 1946. Garfield has returned from his stint in WWII only to run into his old con artist friends who concoct a ploy for him to woo the pants off some well off dame & then make off w/her fortune. Not as gritty as most noirs are expected to be w/the turnabout of our hero's intentions ultimately letting the air out of this yarn's forward motion but to see Garfield in action (he would die at the age of 39 due to a premature heart attack) is enough to get this film under one's belt. Look for Walter Brennan (kind of odd seeing him in a modern setting rather than in Westerns where he would spend nearly his whole career in) as one of Garfield's crew.
