Humphrey Bogart is in fine form as a crusading District Attorney out to convict the head of a vicious murder-for-hire ring. But when his star witness is killed, Bogart must race against time to find the evidence he needs to bring down the mob boss. Told in a series of flashbacks, this tense, tough-as-nails crime thriller on the cutting edge of film noir was based on actual Murder, Inc. Trials. Stylishly directed by Bretaigne Windust with un-credited help from Raoul Walsh and beautifully shot by the great Robert Burks. (Via Vision Entertainment)
