All reviewers have clearly caught this blend of crime and comedy. Two directors and two directors of photography for two opposite genres : the result is surprising and not too convincing for me. What happened during production? In the first brilliant part with a car chase, we see Ted de Corsia as one of the badmen, I thought it was going even tougher, but no, total opposite, he immediately disappears, Ford arrives in his flat and it turns a sudden comedy. Did they shuffle two different scripts? Anyway, it's a weird production not satisfying with those changes of genre, but it's still a pleasure to see Glen Ford, Evelyn Keyes, John Mc Intire, Ted de Corsia,... directed by two directors. I tried to guess who directed what part, I think the answer is obvious when you watch the movie. Or should I say the two movies?
