Warner Bros. 96m. bw

A convicted robber is bailed out of prison to stage a heist at a hotel in the Sierra Nevada, but his associates are killed or caught and he faces a man hunt over the mountains by the police.
Typical Warner crime melodrama at the onset of the film noir era, a little contrived in some of its characterisation and plotting, but gives Bogart a decent vehicle in a role that would become part of his defining image.
