Summary: A savings-and-loan bank is robbed; later, a police wiretap identifies teller Leon Poole as inside man. In capturing him, detective Sam Wagner accidentally kills Poole's young wife, and at his trial Poole swears vengeance against Wagner. About three years later, Poole (until then a model prisoner) abruptly takes his chance to kill a guard and escape. It's clear during the ensuing manhunt that Poole is obsessed in pursuit of a single end; but not quite the end everyone supposes. (imdb)

When it sticks with the bad guy it's amazing, but during the rest of it, it's pretty bland. I've come to expect bland from Rhonda Fleming, but Cotten? It's surprising how terrible he is in this movie. His scenes just felt all wrong, and I never cared much about him or Fleming. However, it's worth watching for Wendell Corey, playing way against type as one of the most unusual and disturbed noir villains I've ever seen. He definitely carries the film.

Effective, suspenseful small film with a fine Wendell Corey performance.
