Trivia
The film was banned in Ohio due to its sordid, sadistic presentation of brutality and its detailed stages in the commission of criminal acts.

Goofs
The DA calls several of the defendants as witnesses during their trial for murder; this is not allowed.

Quotes
Holiday Carleton: [addressing Cotter] You've only said one true thing in your whole life. And that's when you said you were going away tonight. And you are: three miles out of town and six feet down. All alone. With nobody to lie to! And you can kiss tomorrow goodbye.

Underrated gangster/film-noir gem

I can't believe that this film is not well known. Get rid of the terrible courtroom framing device, and you have a gangster masterpiece. Coming on the heels of Cagney's better known White Heat, this film takes violence and corruption to a new level. This film starts off with a brutal jail break and never slows down. The cold blooded violence portrayed is quite jaw dropping. Cagney was born to play this role. He is clearly relishing his cold blooded character. The freshness of this film is surprising. You are totally caught off guard. In this sense, it reminds me most of Kiss Me Deadly. For anyone with a passing interest in Cagney, or gangster films, or film-noir, or film violence, watch this film!!!!!!!
