Starring Dick Powell, Rhonda Fleming

A man wrongly imprisoned for five years is determined to find who in fact committed the robbery and benefited from the spoils.

Robert Parrish's first feature as a director (he started his film career as an actor and then for twelve years worked as assistant to George Stevens) is a taut, economical thriller in the best Hollywood tradition. The complex plot is unravelled without a wasted shot or word, and the characterisation is well drawn and convincingly natural.
