Criminal Joseph 'Duke' Berne (Humphrey Bogart) faces substantial time if he's caught again. His crooked lawyer is planning an armored truck robbery. Duke backs out but the robbery is executed anyways. He has no alibi and gets sentenced to life.
Bogie is doing more gangster with a heart. He's the best at this kind of role. I would consider staying in the prison. It's a few too many turns. I want to stay in one place where he can develop some connections. The other characters need some time. It's a basic gangster movie. I would give it a basic grade. I also have to warn that this has a black-faced section.
