This…A work in progress, with many films still to add. 1948 Directed by George Sherman. Director However the script is superb, I wasnt surprised to learn afterwards the screen writer also did Pitfall and Cry Danger both of which are superb and also The Web which had a really sharp script. Payne was always good in roles where his characters were caught between good and bad while Duryea is a hoot as the vicious and jealous hood.
