I really don't like Sinatra's music, but damn, his acting in the fifties was really amazing. He should have stuck with acting, in my opinion.
Well acted hostage drama piece, with a crime boss who finds the banter with his captives cathartic.
Hopefully Sinatra finished that sandwich, the man is skin and bones.
Interesting, although not greatly engaging. Not worth bothering with if you aren't a fan of older movies.
a classic, but doesn't hold up
Early 50's claptrap from TV director Allen. As usual Sinatra overacts, while Hayden's talents are wasted reciting a mouthful of homilies. Some good dialogue, but not enough to save the film.
