Programmer of the Period
No need to recap the already-reviewed plot. The movie is a good example of an assembly line product that studios rushed into production for undemanding wartime audiences at a time when they were crowding theaters in record numbers. The film itself may be unmemorable, but the results still show slick professionalism of the studio system (here, Warner Bros.). It's also a chance for a newcomer like Travis to get needed exposure. He's Hollywood handsome, performs capably enough, but leaves no lasting impression and is a good example of an actor whose real medium turned out to be TV. Ditto comedian Jackie Gleason and William Hopper of old Perry Mason show in a bit part. In fact this is precisely the level of entertainment that would later transition to TV without missing a beat.
In passingwas there any cop during this period who wasn't Irish. My guess is that the stereotype was a safe and popular one because it raised no controversial connotations, unlike, say, a German or French cop. Also, both shootouts are rather conspicuously overdone. Note in the hotel room how the windowpane manages not to shatter despite fusillade after fusillade of police bullets. I suspect this was an effort to generate an appearance of more action in a crime drama that's otherwise somewhat short of the norm. Anyway, the 53 minutes remains a good example of routine bottom-of-the-bill entertainment, circa 1942.
