Top Critic A classy thriller, much less laden with significance than most Kazan movies.

Performances by Richard Widmark and Jack Palance and the New Orleans settings distinguish this not-quite-noir.

This comparably early Elia Kazan movie indicates just how prodigious his talents behind the camera could be.
