Interesting Bill Bendix and George Raft film filled with back-stabbing galore. With Bendix as the cop and Raft as a bookie, threatened by a protection racket, we have a taut story here.
Marilyn Maxwell is Raft's new love interest who is lying through her teeth. She sports a black wig here, but Bendix recognizes her for what she is.
Interesting to see Raft in a role trying to go straight.
This is basically the story of friendship and betrayal as told by the Bendix character. When their friend, played by Henry Morgan, is killed for not playing ball with the racketeers, Bendix and Raft step in to avenge his murder, but in different ways.
The film would have been better had it been longer. The Maxwell character, the stinker that she was, could have been stretched to show how evil she really was.
You know this is a different film for George Raft as he is not throwing that coin up and down in the manner that only he could do.
