Often considered the first 'Film Noir' this 65 minute B movie routinely eclipses its formulaic plot and timid finale with a striking expressionist style. Its use of shadows and lighting conjures memories of Dr Caligari while its deeply cynical, paranoid tone grounds the film in a stark reality of normalised injustice. A surreal dream sequence remains impressive 75 years later and Peter Lorre's small role is memorable and unnerving.

Acting a little hokey, but well done for its time period.

Character actors Cook Jr, Halton, & our hero McGuire really fill out this film admirably. Tallichet also seems to hit her marks and deliver charming nuances for her role. The cinematography & editing certainly seem to deliver a product the close to what any director should be happy with. While this is sometimes touted as the first Film Noir, I would say this is a progenitor of the genre. The streets are dim echoes of fritz Lang's M (which also starred Lorre) in which an all night search miraculously uncovers a psychotic - who doesn't scream "Hilfe!" in this film. And a few scenes show a strong influence of German Expressionist cinema - not quite the archetypal American Noir yet. While Lorre does an excellent job once more, it's a shame he took so long to break out of this stereotype. A shame he was ever locked into a stereotype as Lorre was a great character actor who could do everything... except dance.

Good performance from Peter Lorre playing his usual, creepy parts. Shows how easy it is to get wrongly convicted of something if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I understand this was made with almost no budget and if you take that into consideration a very good effort, very expressionistic. Oddly short though, esp since a good chunk of the film is a dream sequence. Def worth the time though.
