Slow boil wickedness
Edward G. takes massive psychological punishment from one of the most unlikable and obnoxious con artists in cinema "Johnny" & and his sizzling partner in crime, who not only play on his loneliness but exploit his creative talents as well. Wicked!

Shorty G Robinson
I was reluctant to watch this because Robinson is not the typical dashing leading man. But man can he act this is his second great movie on this film festival that i have watch; the other being The Red House.

Excellent!
Joan Bennett! Wow!! She was incredible, I had no idea she how capable she was! Robinson is always great, as is Duryea. Well worth a look.I can imagine you would be disappointed.

two thumbs up
This is fine entertainment from three stars on top of their game, put through their paces by a quality director and with the benefit of a cracking script.
With all that going for it,the film couldn't fail and doesn't
