(1947, Updated 03-20-25) Ronald Howard, Maxwell Reed, Hector Ross, Anne Crawford, Christine Norden, Syd James. In this superb film noir gem, Ross and Howard play young men who join the police force. Ross succeeds; Howard fails. Howard soon ends up on the wrong side of the law when he falls in with a shady nightclub owner, brilliantly played by Reed. Falling into the middle of all this are two dames—one sweet and innocent (Crawford); the other a femme fatale (Norden), the latter with an insatiable taste for money, men, and sex. Norden almost steals the show with her high octane, sultry performance. She is beautiful and seductive in the sexiest high class manner. There are several fine scenes between her and Reed. This forgotten gem boasts a terrific script and top-notch acting. Wow! 35mm.
