“This movie is good. The beatnik scene, with its pseudo-intellectualism, is played to the hilt. The atmosphere brought to life via a knowledgeable use of black and white, with good sets and staging, helps a lot. Peter Falk ( and I’d never seen him play a role quit like THIS one before ) comes across as wonderful talent. Frankly, his portrayal of Nico has Oscar nominee written all over it. I’ve said it before and I say it here again … Low budget doesn’t mean no quality. This movie is good quality. Its a credit to the crime drama genre. And there is a sound psychology to both the plot line and the character development that I liked very much. Think: Peer pressure. The part I thought both funny and prophetic … Heres the future Colombo with a detective on his tail. The name of the detective? McLeod.”Read More »

When his best friend is killed by Saxon’s goons, Corbett agrees to cooperate with the authorities in bringing the racketeer to justice. As a means of “balancing” the picture, several real-life New Orleans civic leaders and union heads–all with purportedly clean records–appear as themselves.Read More »
