This is quite a decent little crime noir with Lee J. Cobb as a veteran police officer called in to investigate a murder. Thing is, the murdered man just happens to be the young (soon to be ex) husband of his wealthy lover Jane Wyatt ("Lois"). It isn't long before we start to suspect some sort of cover up, and so does his partner and younger brother John Dall ("Andy"). It's a solid detective mystery with Cobb and Wyatt on good form. Dall always was a bit of an effort to appreciate - his looks did most of his acting for him, and here they don't really shine. The dialogue is quite sharp, the pace likewise and there are just about enough red herrings to keep the plot interesting, with quite an exciting last ten minutes. Worth a watch.
