This film treasure may well be the "missing link" or "bridge" between German Expressionist cinema and "film noir". The John McGuire character sports the pasty, clammy face of many an expressionist male lead. Elisha Cook's portrayal as the wrongly-convicted murder suspect is a quintessionally-noir plot device. The sleepy-eyed Peter Lorre, a veteran of both "noir" and "expressionist" styles haunts the film as an amblyn ambassador of both styles. But it is the psycholdelic dream sequences, similar in-part to the carnival montage in Orson Welles, "The Lady from Shanghai" that cement the two styles within this obscure film.

Made on a very low budget, this short little movie is very often called the first true noir. It has a distinctly gloomy atmosphere, disturbingly nightmarish dream sequence, and claustrophobic cinematography. Peter Lorre shows his creepy charm once again. Although the story is simple, it has its moments of ambiguity.

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

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.

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.
