Post-war noirish crime/thriller. Strong story with Payne as a patsy trying to clear his name. His character is morally ambivalent which leant some depth to an otherwise soundstage-bound melodrama.
Helped by some classic hollywood character actors...Jack Elam, Lee van Cleef, Neville Brand.
Routine but a bit above the usual B movie of the time.
