Summary: From case cover: Nick Scanlon (Robert Ryan) is an old-fashioned gangster. If someone crosses you, settle it with a fist or a bullet. Tom Mcquigg (Robert Mitchum) is an old-fashioned kind of cop. Grab the bad guy, not the bribe. But they're both living in a corrupt new world of smooth operators on both sides of the law, efficient green-eyeshade types who run a crime ring like a corporation. They won't mind if Scalon and McQuigg square off...if they bring each other down. Ryan and Mitchum, who co-starred in the groundbreaking Crossfire, reteam for another tense, character-driven, twist-laden film noir. Who's got your back? Who'll stab you in the back? You'll be suprised.
