Trivia
One of the few times Lawrence Tierney played a good guy. He also was the hero in Step By Step; in both, he's the Wrong Man aka falsely accused of murder: having to prove his innocence to, by the end, find the real killer. He was also the hero in Bodyguard, the last movie he did before being fired by RKO. Ironically, he was on pretty good behavior on that set (but was fired for his past arrests); however, co-star Priscilla Lane also complained that Tierney could be difficult.

Not the best Larry Tierney - Max Nosseck's job

If I had to remember a film reuniting Lawrence Tierney and Max Nosseck the director, it would be DILLINGER and why not THE HOODLUM, but strangely not this one, which remains however a good time waster, adventure drama very pleasant to watch. It is not a thriller, nor a crime film, and Lawrence Tierney was born to be bad, to kill on screen - as he was precisely in Robert Wise's BORN TO KILL; he was not the best choice for something else. But, I repeat, the whole result is not bad at all. So, if you are a great fan of Lawrence Tierney because of Dillinger, this movie is not DILLINGER, nor THE HOODLUM. Appreciate it anyway. Please.
