Storyline

Mobster Tommy Gordon isn't worried about being sentenced to Sing Sing prison because his political pals have promised him a quick parole. A troublesome prisoner, he finally concedes that his friends have deserted him, and he makes an effort to reform. When his girlfriend Kay is injured in an accident, Warden Long gives Tommy a pass to go see her. But trouble erupts when Tommy encounters the man responsible for his imprisonment.—Jim Beaver



Short Review

If you were to follow the career trajectory of John Garfield you might feel, like I do, that his performance in this picture was starting to feel redundant. This was the sixth of seven performances where he played a criminal or outcast. The picture might hold your interest, but prove to be forgetful minutes after the final credits.
