| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThere's not much in the way of thrills or surprises in this minor film noir. |
| Seanax.comSean Axmaker... it plays as a kind of low-budget retake on Panic in the Streets and Earl McEvoy spends more time with the officials than with the crooks, who are far more interesting. |
| User ReviewAdam DTypical potboiler but with eerie parallels to today--Morbid tale of smallpox carrier!! |
| User ReviewJennifer BNot a bad plot but it gets a bit lost as the focus goes from the criminals at the beginning to the cops and doctors perspectives for the majority of the end. |
| User ReviewRich SA rather forgettable, uninspiring example of film noir. A woman infected with smallpox roams the streets of new york in search of her philandering husband who is swindling her. This is sort of like a very bland version of "The Stand", mixed in with a rather thin plot about jewel smuggling. If you're looking for a great classic film to watch, you could do much better. This one is far from award-worthy. |
