Rating: - Great Nicholas Ray flick starring Cyd Charisse, Robert Taylor and Lee J. Cobb.
Great Nicholas Ray flick starring Cyd Charisse, Robert Taylor and Lee J. Cobb. Taylor plays a big shot lawyer working for gangster Cobb, but he despises him. Taylor falls in love with Charisse only to have Cobb use her to get him not to turn states evidence. Sometimes campy, but very entertaining film.
