action

“When Chuck Martin is released from jail, there is a straight road ahead of him - a straight way back into his criminal life. He knows exactly: in the building as well as outside, he will never be able to take off the invisible strips of prisoner's clothing. In this explosive, socially critical crime thriller, Humphrey Bogart, in the role of Martin, is still punching his way into Hollywood's starry sky with a mocking grin. First up in the cast is George Raft - he plays Martin's ex-Sing-Sing prison brother, Cliff Taylor, who renounces his criminal past in order to be a role model for his little brother. But Taylor only awaits suspicion, public contempt, and unemployment. So he asks his cell buddy for help. Does Martin mind letting an old prisoner participate in his breaches? Not at all. Then as now, crime doesn't pay off. But it is still billed. "

Reviews

“Solid gangster film that Lloyd Bacon (“ The 42nd Street ”) directed with the now largely forgotten George Raft in the lead role. While Raft's penitent ex-con is being driven back into crime by the environment, Humphrey Bogart, as so often at this time , plays the tough boy for whom a decent life is out of the question. In his second film role, the young William Holden ("Sunset Boulevard") embodies the little brother Rafts, whom he wants to protect. "
