I like Glenn Ford in this kind of role, the smart protagonist who isn't always quite smart enough. Barry Sullivan is always fun, too. Janis Carter isn't the greatest femme fatale, but she has a strong presence. This is very standard stuff, but with a few nice details. This movie doesn't pack any surprises, I kept thinking of ways in which it could have been more interesting. Still, it's fun and it's tight, very story-driven but an entertaining story. The performances make it worthwhile.
