Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

clanciai The question that must arise from the beginning,m and which turns this movie doubtful from the start, is how such an experienced and qualified detective as Lee J. Cobb could allow himself to be lead by such a woman to his own bad end? He must realize from the beginning that it must be impossible at length to get away with such a cover up. All the same, it's an interesting intrigue, the plot is formidable as Lee must perform a complicated double play which is bound to constantly get more difficult, but what saves the film is the tremendous finale. Hitchcock must have been inspired by this set-up at Fort Point under the great bridge with its fantastic opportunities for a thriller finale. There are many details adding to an excellent thriller, like her scarf blowing off in the end, the Italian family incident, the great introductory scene with its opening the door to any possible crime that only can be guessed at - and which leads to crime that no one wanted to commit. Lee J. Cobb's foolery is questionable, but the film is great in spite of its foibles and should be worth restoring to its original quality indeed.

Rainey Dawn This is a good crime noir, it's surprisingly better than I was guessing it would be. The film grabbed my attention from the start until it ended, so I know I found enjoyment watching it.Two brothers: The older, Ed, likes his police work as a homicide detective and staying single while going after beautiful women - the fast, single type of life. The younger, Andy, is just starting out as a homicide detective and works with his brother, he is the type that likes a wife and good home - the simple family life.The older brother, Ed, is secretly seeing another one of his beautiful women and this one is rich and married - soon to divorce. One night the husband comes back home and the wife kills him while her boyfriend detective Ed was there and witnessed what really happened. Ed tells her "The truth would get you 20" and helps to cover up what happened. Guess who is assigned to the case: Ed and his younger brother Andy.9/10

kapelusznik18 ***SPOLIERS*** Just wanting to cover up the murder, or homicide, of his lover's Lois Frazer, Jane Wyatt, estranged husband Howard, Harlan Warde, SFPD highly decorated and respected Let. Det. Cullen, really screwed thing up for himself thinking that he's in control of the situation. It just happened that his kid brother Andy, John Dall, was put on the murder case, his first, that if solved would implicate Lt.Cullen in Mr. Frazer's death! Doing all all he could, even moving the body, to make it look like Mr. Frazer was killed in a mugging at the San Francisco Airport Brother Andy uncovered a number of clues that pointed straight to big brother Ed in both the murder and cover up.Meanwhile the murder weapon was recovered and showed that it was involved in the murder of a liquor store owner as well which brother Cullen & Mrs. Lois Frazer had nothing to do with. As it turned out after Ed had gotten rid of the gun that killed Mr. Frazer, by throwing it off the Golden Gate Bridge, this hood Nito Capa, Alan Wells, recovered and used in the murder robbery! Now it seem that both Let. Ed Cullen and Lois were home free to get back to their lives without worrying about their involvement, in Lois killing and Cullen covering up, in Mr. Frazer's murder: Or so they thought!***SPOILERS*** With the coast seeming clear for Cullen and his lover Lois brother Andy uncovered a clue that not only exonerated Capa of Frazer's murder but reinforced his suspicion of his big brother as well as Mrs. Frazer's involvement in Mr. Frazer's demise! Knowing that the jig is up and about to be arrested the two lovebirds, Cullen & Mrs. Frazer, made a run for it and ended up hiding at Fort Point at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. And it's there that the two were soon caught by the police in that's where Andy knew, back when Ed and himself were young boys, was Let. Cullen's favorite hiding place! To add insult to injury at their trial Ed's lover Lois completely ignored him and made a play for her high price lawyer or shyster who by now, in trying to get her off, was far more important to her then Ed was. And poor Ed who just wanted to do, in his love sick mind, the right thing may now well end up spending the rest of his life behind bars for doing it!

GManfred As B movies go this was three-fourths of a good movie, done in by its confusing cop-out ending. To be honest, I still don't completely understand the denouement as it appears on my DVD. Dependable Lee J. Cobb gives it his best, just a few years before "On The Waterfront".On the other hand, Jane Wyatt does not, and gives a comatose performance she probably wished she could have back. The big surprise was John Dall, who as Cobb's younger brother/detective is a breath of fresh air. Makes you wonder why he didn't become a bigger star.I tried very hard to like this picture as it was a novel idea and it was working for a while. Sometimes filmmakers have a good idea but can't figure out how to end it (see "Harvey"). So disappointed was I that I dropped my rating to its present 6.
