...genuine as old pistols in a hockshop window. By using them to dramatize real cases from the Los Angeles police files-and by viewing them with a compassion totally absent in most fictional tales of private eyes-Webb has been able to utilize many a difficult theme (dope addiction, sex perversion) with scarcely a murmur of protest from his huge public...

Huston crams the frame so full of Gina fore and Jennifer aft that it looks like a wish-you-were-here postcard from Coney Island. The rifled dispatch case? When the four villains rummage through the Englishman's box, they find nothing but a letter to a minor colonial official and a hot water bottle−and are humiliatingly caught in the act to boot...
