As a B-movie film noir, it gets an interesting start with its plot about corruption and murder on tabloid press, but even portraying Dan Duryea's role as the cynical journalist can't correct a poor second half. [Full review in Spanish]

It has a kind of Jacobean wildness to its plot twists, and some acting that borders on the hysterical.
