Richard Fleischer directed this compact thriller that stars William Talman as Purvis, a clever criminal mastermind who is employed by a gangster named Benny to pull off a daring armored car robbery because his mistress(played by Adele Jergens) is losing interest in him. What he doesn't know is that she is having an affair with Purvis! The heist goes wrong when a cop is killed, whose friend and fellow policeman(played by Charles McGraw) becomes determined to avenge. Meanwhile, Purvis kills Benny, and runs off with his mistress, in a desperate bid to escape capture. Well-directed film has good performances and exciting action. A model of its kind.
