Title: Early noir murder mystery
Review: Alan Ladd tries to clear his boss (Brian Donlevy) of a murder he didn't commit, and runs into a sadistic thug (William Bendix) and a tough babe (Veronica Lake) along the way. Based faithfully on the Hammett novel of the same name, but oddly this early film noir doesn't stick in the craw very long. Ladd can stand with the toughest (and has to with Bendix around), but when he tries to grin, as he does a few times with Lake, it looks as if his face is about to break. During one of his ritualistic beatings of Ladd, Bendix accidentally slipped and knocked Ladd out cold. The scene was kept in the picture. Bendix is excellent, by the way. It's an okay noir entry, but there would be lots better down the road.
