Viewing Notes

Decent but nothing special. The cinematography isn’t particularly great and the plot is pretty tired. Always fun to see George Raft and Edward G. Robinson but they both looked like they were putting in their eight hours to get a paycheck and then heading to the bar.

This was the last movie in my Kino Lorber noir box set.
