...last week, nervously cascading a stream of quarters from one hand to the other, he talked a little about himself. "Right now I'm cleaner than 99% of New Yorkers," he said. "Now I don't want you should get the wrong impression-I never sold any Bibles." But he insisted that he obeyed the law. "There they all are wit' their shotguns waiting for me to come out of a hole like a rabbit. You think I could get away with anything? It's ridiculous...
...hour exams have been failing as this yardstick, however. They are the bluebooks that the student finds with a single big letter grade serawled on their cover, and no other comment. No exam really helps the student to learn unless he knows what he did wrong; a grade and a line of cryptic figures written on the inside cover are not constructive criticism.

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. Trying for and missing the punch of Double Indemnity, waltz-paced Deadline is further debilitated...
