Let's be fait and straight, I prefered Nick Ray's THEY LIVE BY NIGHT, with the same Cathy O'Donnel and Farley Granger, it was a real film noir. This one is an excellent crime flick if you consider directing and acting too, only the screenplay is not the best ever, especially for a film maker as Anthony Mann. And of course, speaking of a crime flick showing a couple of lead characters - man and a woman - on the run, nothing in the movie history will be the equal of GUN CRAZY or BONNIE AND CLYDE. But those two features did not bring the very same story either, I admit. For those, however, who seek every item of Tony Mann's filmography, this one is an absolute must see.
