Review

noir about a cop who uses his strong arm tactics one too many times and ends up killing a guy. in a panic, he covers up the crime and spends the rest of the film trying to dig himself out of the hole. it’s a familiar plot executed well by andrews, tierney, and preminger. of course you know how it ends, but it’s great seeing andrews squirm at first and then change in the end. tierney is beautiful and soft at usual.
