...camera and angle, and he never slows down the pace. While it's hard to believe that a fire-extinguisher could ever put Mappin & Webb out of commission--as it does--most gangster films aren't wholly believable, anyway. For instance, when the stopped-up bell starts to ring almost inaudibly, why isn't the Arrondissement's gendarmerie roused by closed wire to action? Well, we don't know, or care...
