I watched a B-movie and daresay I enjoyed it.

This was my first John Garfield film, and it has him in the first of many tough-guy roles, this time as journalist Tim Haydon, who's out to bring down city mob 'Bull' Bransom. I found it a rather enjoyable movie, and it's not too exhaustingly long, lasting only 75 minutes. John Garfield also puts in a stellar performance - his dialogue delivery and everything is spot-on, but the screenplay lets the actors down. Watched today, it seems more like a run-of-the-mill prison/gangster film, and a little dated, but if you haven't seen a lot of Warner Brothers or John Garfield films, this is an okay time-pass film. Now I'm off to watch some more of his other (supposedly better) films!

Trivia
The island in the East River in New York City crossed by the Queensboro Bridge was known as Blackwell's Island, and then Welfare Island from 1921 to 1973 when it was used for hospitals, prisons and other civic institutions. It was renamed Roosevelt Island in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1973. And, shortly after the period depicted in this film, the prison was closed and prisoners were moved to Rikers Island.

Errores
When Bull is fleeing in the little speedboat, he fires seven shots from his snub-nose revolver.

Citas
Benny Farmer: Hi-ya, Wong. How ya feeling?
Wong: Me very sick; me go see doctor again.
Tim Haydon: Say, how good is this doctor?
Benny Farmer: I'll give you an idea how good he is. He's been treating him three months for yellow jaundice, and only yesterday he found out he was a Chinaman.
