Streetwise criminal defense lawyer Brick Davis (James Cagney) rethought his priorities after a longtime friend--who’d joined the still-fledgling FBI--fell in the line of duty. Signing up with the Bureau in order to hunt down the killers, Davis finds that his old connections might mean the difference in making sure justice is done. Exciting crime drama also stars Robert Armstrong, Margaret Lindsay, Ann Dvorak, and Lloyd Nolan (his screen debut). Includes the 1949 re-issue introduction. 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
