One more Edward L Cahn - or Can't - spoiled movie.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

That's one of those Edward L Cahn films I waited to see since so many years, and that disappointed me. A flat plot about gangsters witnessed by Greek immigrants during their crime. The usual tale of police force which must protect the poor witnesses. Sleepy at the most. I don't recommend it; except for the most desperate Edward L cahn fans.

However, he showed us in the past that he could do much better. But in that purpose, he had to have a solid script, good actors and a competent producer too.

Keep in mind that when you are to see a film directed by Edward L Cahn, you have to expect the worst of every thing you have ever seen.
