Summary: Motor mechanic Dan Brady lacks funds for a heavy date with new waitress Vera, the type whose life's ambition is a fur coat; so he embezzles twenty dollars from his employer. To make up the shortage, he goes in debt for a hundred. Thereafter, every means he tries to get out of trouble only gets him deeper into crime, while everyone he meets is out for what they can get.

The acting was fine in this movie but the script was very contrived. The script really ruined this movie as it was totally unbelievable. It would have been nice to see more of the great Peter Lorre as well.

This is a really enjoyable "out of the frying pan, into the fire" situation. Maybe not as hard-edged as I usually prefer my noir, but the story moves at a rapid clip and never slows down. And I don't mean to imply it's light-hearted, although there is some amusement in how incompetent the protagonist is at committing crimes. There's a simplistic but entertaining good girl/bad girl dichotomy. Some beautiful lighting and shot composition as well. Exciting, fun, and memorable.

Great noir. You really feel bad for poor Mickey Rooney by the end of it. Lorre floats through this one.
