Storyline
Small-time crook Nick Bianco gets caught in a jewel heist and despite urgings from well-meaning district attorney D'Angelo, refuses to rat on his partners and goes to jail, assured that his wife and children will be taken care of. Learning that his depressed wife has killed herself, Nick informs on his ex-pals and is paroled. Nick remarries, gets a job and begins leading a happy life when he learns one of the men he informed on, psychopathic killer Tommy Udo, has been released from custody and is out for revenge against Nick and his family.

Trivia
When New York mobster "Crazy" Joe Gallo was starting out as a small time hoodlum, he saw this movie and instantly idolized Tommy Udo (Richard Widmark). Afterwards, Gallo began wearing his suits with black shirts and white ties in emulation of Udo. He also began acting in a more crazed manner, thus giving rise to his "Carzy Joe" persona which lasted until the gangster's death in 1972 when he was shot to death in a restaurant. See more »Goofs
Plot holes: When Nick Bianco sat down with his fiancee after searching his apartment for possible intruders, he told her that Tommy had killed Rizzo's mother, but no one ever told him, and it was not in the news. See more »Quotes
