A nice little noir written by David Goodis (Dark Passage. Shoot the Piano Player). A thief (Dan Duryea) and his crew (including Jayne Mansfield) steal a necklace in Philadelphia. Duryea wants them all to stay holed up for a while till it cools off. Problem is, the others don't think so and with Jayne Mansfield cooped up with them, things heat up. Duryea sends her off to Atlantic City, but there are some others, besides the cops, looking for them and the necklace. The movie is a little too long perhaps, but a really neat show with Duryea turning in a solid performance.

P.S. All Columbia Noirs go off Criterion Channel on June 30th.
