Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Paul Muni gives another classic performance in this wonderful fantasy about a notorious gangster who is murdered by a double-crossing partner. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Rains shines as the Devil, shading the character with a likeable puckishness good for both sympathy and chuckles. Anne Baxter is excellent as the troubled fiancee. Read full review

Bosley Crowther

The story is so imitative—and is repeated so dutifully—that it's hard to feel any more towards it than a mildly nostalgic regard. Read full review

Pauline Kael

Gangster whimsey--which is to say the very worst kind.
