Ratings and reviews

In this intense thriller, Glenn Ford is a man on fire looking to bring the big heat down on the syndicate responsible for his wife's murder, and Gloria Grahame is the vixen between him and his prey. Of course, Ford's cop on the hunt gets his revenge, but not without the aid of Grahame's femme fatale, who displays a classic cocktail of alluring vulnerability and fierceness with a touch of moral ambiguity.
