Interesting late 1950's pseudo-exploitation flick that covers all kinds of topics. Steve Cochran is sturdy as the tough cop who needs to make up his mind. Ray Danton is sleazy and demented as The Aspirin Kid, Fay Spain is touching as Cochran's wife, and Mamie Van Doren is wonderful and beautiful and needs a bigger role in this one.
A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Mamie Van Doren. Jackie Coogan, who was in many of these "exploitation" flicks is creepy. Great opening with Louis Armstrong to set the pace in a cool club. I got this because of Ms. Van Doren, but was surprised by all the overlapping topics that are covered in this cop tale.
