After sending an innocent man to the electric chair, a district attorney's ambitious career plans are disrupted. The film is entertaining enough but has some silly moments, including a ridiculous finale. Robinson is fine as the tough attorney, a decent fellow who unwittingly becomes involved with the mob. Unfortunately, the supporting cast is not up to par. Foch in particular gives a weak performance as an associate of Robinson's. In only her third film, Mansfield is quite alluring as (what else?) a dumb blonde. There are three actors here who would gain fame on TV: Platt (Maxwell Smart's Chief), Corby (Grandma Walton), and Kelley (Dr. McCoy).
