As a national crime syndicate reaches its tentacles into a big city's political machine, it faces opposition on two fronts: an incorruptible cop (Robert Mitchum) trying to clean up the streets and an old-school local mobster (Robert Ryan) who likes to settle scores with gunplay. Lizabeth Scott, Ray Collins, William Conrad, and William Talman also star in this noir-tinged crime drama. 89 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
