Interesting cop drama, a clear forerunner of DIRTY HARRY (with Harry's future colleague Guardino along for good measure); mix of lurid police action with the corrupt private lives of the police officers doesn't always work, but Widmark is a terrific bad-ass, Fonda brings estimable class to the police commissioner and Whitmore is also effective in support. Film nervously straddles 50s film-making with a soon-to-be 70s hip attitude which clashes awkwardly at times.
