Featured review
Cliff Taylor (George Raft) and his pal Chuck Martin (Humphrey Bogart) are released together from Sing Sing. Cliff wants to regenerate and have a straight life while Chuck has no intention of changing his lifestyle. Cliff wants to support his mother Mrs. Taylor (Flora Robson) and his younger son Tim Taylor (William Holden) that can not afford to get married with his girlfriend Peggy (Jane Bryan). However he is discriminated by the society and has difficulties to get a job. When he sees Tim thinking to switch to a life if crime, Cliff seeks out Chuck and decides to join his gang to heist banks and make money to buy a garage for Tim. What will happen to the Taylor brothers?
"Invisible Stripes" is an entertaining gangster film with the story of an ex-con that wants to go straight during his parole but is discriminated by the society, returning to the crime. The fate of Cliff Taylor is predictable. The greatest attractions are probably William Holden very young is his second credited role and Humphrey Bogart in a support role. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): Not Available on Blu-Ray or DVD.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Cliff (George Raft) meets Chuck Martin (Humphrey Bogart) and Molly (Lee Patrick) leaving a movie theater. The movie that's being shown, and prominently advertised, is You Can't Get Away with Murder (1939) starring Bogart.
- GoofsIt is illegal to profit from the proceeds of a crime, even if one is not the criminal. Therefore, Tim would not have been able to use the stolen money to become the owner of the garage. This is an odd oversight on the part of the Hays Code.
