Bootleggers on the lam Frankie and Noll split up to evade capture by the police.

Viewing Notes
The first pairing of Douglas and Lancaster is a fairly decent noir. Their outsized personalities are on full display. I found it most interesting in the way the gangsters of the 1930’s have graduated to corporate businessmen, reaping their gains through accounting and legal trickery.
