Description
Joe Sullivan, serving time for armed robbery, is torn between two women: the beautiful lawyer’s assistant, Ann, and his girlfriend, Pat. Broken out of prison and pursued by the sadistic Rick Coyle (Raymond Burr at his best), Joe flees west with both Ann and Pat in tow, his love for the one waxing as his love for the other wanes. “Alton’s noir cinematography is a minor miracle” (J. Hoberman).
