Gloria McGehee's debut.
Part of Kino Lorber's Sixth Film Noir Box Set along with Jacques Tourneur's The Fearmakers starring Dana Andrews and Dick Foran and Chicago Confidential starring Brian Keith and, again, Dick Foran. Although political corruption is not mentioned on the box set itself, it does define all three movies, all of which are regarded as not genuine noir films, but with noir elements.
[Foreword] The boss is a creature of no political party. He appears in the wake of public apathy fostering crime and corruption. Years ago an outraged citizenry arose against him. Only you, a vigilant people can combat the menace of a boss.
