Description
Sent up the river for 20 after armed robbery, Nick Bianco (Mature) is no rat. But he agrees to cooperate after his wife's suicide effectively orphans his daughters -- a decision that makes him the number 1 target of the sadistic Tommy Udo (Widmark in a positively virtuoso debut). Yes, this is the film that features Widmark pushing an old lady in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs, laughing manically all the while. Restored print!
