This film is entertaining, engaging, eminently watchable. However, part of the plot derives from clumsy amateurish mistakes made by the police. They sent an undercover cop under his own real name, and the cop's wife did not know how to act, so she messed up. A dirty cop is left unguarded enough so he could commit suicide.
The bad guys were not very cledver either: Stevens' character, who was trying to woo the widow, allows McGavin to identify him inside a car at the very moment goons are attacking him.
In spite of all these clumsy behaviours, the film deserves a watching.
