Pretty good Cagney vehicle, even if it does shortchange the novel somewhat. I give it an extra star simply on the strength of re-teaming Barton McLane and Ward Bond as cops.
A critic described the film as "vicious and uncompromising" which I don't get, because it's agreeably vicious but it compromised the hell out of the book.
