Fine B crime picture, one of several films based on stories in J. Edgar Hoover's book Persons in Hiding. I haven't read the book but I have seen all of the movies. Sounds like a real page turner. In this one, a gangster (Anthony Quinn) is set free on parole due to some shenanigans with a member of the parole board who is on the take. Directed by Robert Florey, it's a fast-paced quickie, clocking in at just under an hour. The cast is full of recognizable faces like Jack Carson, Richard Denning, Lyle Talbot, Robert Paige, and Fay Helm, among others. Quinn gives a good turn as the irredeemable killer. Definitely worth a look. A nice time-passer.
