John Garfield is in top form in this uncompromising crime drama. Sadly, it was to be his last movie performance before his death at age 39. Here, Garfield plays a tough, none-too-bright thug who becomes involved in a payroll robbery planned by the scheming Norman Lloyd. During the heist, Garfield and Lloyd panic, causing both Lloyd and a guard to be wounded. Garfield flees with the money and takes refuge at a swimming pool, where he befriends Winters, who takes him home with her. When her family (Royle, Wallace Ford, and Robert Hyatt) goes out to a movie, Garfield lingers with Winters; later, when the relatives return to find him still there, Garfield experiences another panicky moment and pulls a gun, saying he will stay until the morning. Planning to leave with Winters, he orders her father, Ford, to arrange for a car. Ford, however, has no intention of letting Garfield run away with his daughter--especially since the wounded guard has died and Garfield is now wanted for murder--and plans to shoot the criminal. The next morning, after Garfield has alternately tried to terrorize and attempted to befriend the family, the thief leaves their seedy apartment with Winters. But once on the street, where Ford waits to shoot Garfield, it is Winters who chooses between father and lover. She shoots Garfield down in the gutter. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
