An altruistic department-store owner hires ex-convicts in order to give them a second chance at life, and one of them marries a co-worker, unaware she's on parole.
Strange mixture of romance, crime drama, comedy and musical (music by Kurt Weill!) does show Fritz Lang's signature moments and some great Noir photography, but simply doesn't add up to a convincing story; and George Raft seems at loss cast as a good-guy ex-convict.
Halliwell (no star): "Curious comedy drama which never has a hope of coming off."
