A little aged: little clisés and stereotyped little characters among the way, the 'real time' narration is not too real. But a great sad ending. One of the best Douglas.

Elokuvat 2020 (530 movies items)

"13.8 Näytelmään perustuvassa yhden päivän jännärissä hahmotellaan oivasti muutamin vedoin poliisilaitoksellinen kyttiä ja kutaleita. Tapahtumat poikkoilevat lähinnä poliisiaseman ahtaalla näyttämöllä ja ovatkin hyvin koukuttavaa seurattavaa. Kirk Douglasin näyttelemistä tässä elokuvassa voisi kuvailla adjektiivilla vimmainen, mutta Joseph Wiseman varastaa shown neuroottisena konnana. Itse tarinan pihvi, eli seksuaalismoraalinen kireä paatos ei oikein saanut kaikupohjaa katso"
