...financial publishing family of Dow, Jones & Co., the big breadwinner is the ably edited, highly readable Wall Street Journal (circ. 140,724).

...dialogue is mostly stock gangster talk, and the actors, generally accenting the wrong words, throw their eyes around as though they were at a tennis match. All the same, the film has moments of hard cynicism. The credibly forlorn scenes between the heroine and her brother (Arthur Kennedy) barely suggest a relationship that the Johnston Office might have scrutinized more closely. And Ladd's scenes with a cold and seedy blonde (June Havoc) show a consistent disconcern with what Hollywood knows as real love.
