Adapted form Horace McCoy’s novel, this Cagney Production – in which a vicious sociopath escapes from a prison work detail and imposes himself on the dodgy, crooked, and vulnerable inhabitants of a small town, as he violently goes about acquiring all that he wants – proves to be a viscerally intense affair, but certain details (particularly romantic ones) never feel particularly authentic, taking the gloss off an otherwise excellent production.
