Description
The romance between a mob lawyer (Taylor) and a dancing showgirl (Charisse) is threatened by the violent gangster (Cobb) who controls both of their lives. This surprisingly sensitive and occasionally shocking love story is dazzlingly photographed in color and CinemaScope, and was Ray's last film shot in a Hollywood studio.
