I was rather underwhelmed at first and found the movie a bit clunky. But eventually its charm started to rub off on me. Alan Ladd brings his usual light touch to the proceedings, and there's a lot of terrific snappy patter. Although there's only a few tense action scenes, the way the story unfolds is engaging. There's some wonderful business involving Phyllis Calvert as a nun witness, and Jan Sterling makes a good moll. Overall, it's not a masterpiece or anything, but I had fun with it.
