Nick Bianco is caught during a botched jewellery heist. The prosecution offer him a more lenient sentence if he squeals on his accomplices but he doesn't roll over on them. Three years into the sentence an event changes his mind, leading him down a very dangerous path.
Good crime-drama. Interesting plot with a decent degree of intrigue. Great performance by Richard Widmark, in his cinematic debut, as the insanely fiendish Tommy Udo. Widmark got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his performance.
Not brilliant though. The tension is never dialled up enough and certain plot developments aren't entirely plausible. Some flat, listless periods that slow the momentum.
