This is a tense, offbeat, and fairly absorbing drama.

Reviews for Panic in the Streets
There is vivid action, nice human touches and some bizarre moments. Jack Palance gives a sharp performance.
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.
A premissa é interessante, mas é destruída pelo roteiro cheio de furos. Apesar de tudo, Jack Palance oferece um desempenho marcante em sua estréia no Cinema.
