Review :

Another little Republic gem

I will always be a great Republic pictures fan. Always. And this little flick strengthens my opinion in that idea. A pretty good time waster. Fast paced, no boredom in that story of a petty thief who is in love with a gal and commits a daring armed robbery with a gang of hoods.

Curiously, the film begins with the love affair between the gal and the cop - in this kind of picture, there is ALWAYS a cop - and the rest of the movie focuses on the petty thief preparing and committing the heist with his friends. No forget the shooting among them that follows the robbery. And we find the girl again - with the cop - only at the end.

A very good film noir, even a grade B from Republic pictures.
