Humphrey Bogart stars as a District Attorney named Martin Ferguson who has been working for four years to prosecute the head of Murder, Inc. and he has now lost his key witness to an unknown gunman.
Ferguson and a police detective try and find an elusive clue that still might get the mob head convicted. This is a very tight, well made thriller that is told mostly in flashback. Bogart is excellent as usual and his supporting cast includes some of the greats of the film business like Ted de Corcia, Zero Mostel, Everette Sloane, King Donovan, Michael Tolan, Bob Steele and Tito Vuolo.
Olive has a great track record of turning out these film noir gems without much fanfare. This Blu-ray release has the film looking better than I have ever seen it before and if you are a Film Noir fan, Bogart fan, or movie lover in general I cannot recommend this enough.
I cannot wait to see what Olive releases in 2014.
