Synopsis

Two-time loser Nick Bianco is caught during an armed robbery and pressured by the Assistant District Attorney to squeal on his cohorts. Nick refuses, but after his wife commits suicide and his daughters are put in an orphanage, he relents and goes to work for the prosecutor. He gets paroled and straightens out his life, but when the D.A. needs him to roll over on Tommy Udo, Nick finds he has to deal with the psychopathic killer himself.

Uncut, 11/01/2007, p.151, 5 stars out of 5 -- "Richard Widmark stole movie....Widmark plays evil like be-bop, becoming an eternal dark icon..."

USA Today, 12/14/1990, p.3D, "...One of the best photographed examples of postwar 20th Century-Fox film noir..."

"I wouldn't give you the skin off a grape." (Tommy Udo to Assistant District Attorney D'Angelo)

"Your side of the fence is almost as dirty as mine." (Convict Nick Bianco, in the process of making a deal with Assistant District Attorney D'Angelo).
