Rock-solid, finely acted, entertaining prison-cum-crime melodrama with the only romantic teaming of Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis is formulaic filmmaking with everything thrown in to make it suitable for any audience. In this at times sentimental, funny, romantic and tragic, but surprisingly even piece Tracy shines as usual in the role of a hard-boiled con whose girl Davis gets into trouble while he's in jail and therefore he tries to escape. Tracy's several verbal clashes with the prison warden A.S. Byron provides some of the funnier moments and the chemistry between the two leads works, but the plot is rather unfocused and disturbed by subplots. Still, Curtiz's efficient direction provides thoroughly engaging entertainment.
