An effective late Garfield film with an interesting Dalton Trumbo screenplay. Garfield looks tired, but has good support from George, Winter and Ford.

While there's nothing outstanding about this man-on-the-lam noir, it's a fine example of the genre. Garfield is terrific and Winters is amazing as always. There's a good amount of location work, which is always a plus, although most of it is in the front of the film. The rest of it is mostly confined to one set, and this turns out to be the one major drawback. As a viewer I started to long for more forward notion. But it's a fine piece of work for noir fans, with some good photographic elements.
