It's a Harold Robbins story and production, and it's a very interesting story. A mother gives birth to an orphan and dies, the orphan is taken to a catholic orphanage and brought up a catholic. 16 years later he runs away for personal reasons. Before that he has made friends with Steve McQueen and his sister, who becomes his love, but his employer is a gangster, which brings complications and ultimately turns him into a hard knuckles gangster too. Of course it doesn't pay in the long run, but what about his relationships with his best friends, Steve McQueen who turns into his chief prosecutor and his sister, who never let him down? It's a great and fascinating set-up and story, and although it is not quite convincing as a noir, the interesting story remains a lasting curiosity, as the catholic-jewish orphan actually goes through all the worst dregs of life to finally reach - what? That is the question.
I can understand those who award this film full ten points, and those who discard it with a 1. But John Drew Barrymore makes a good job, and Steve McQueen in his first full length movie is already here the reliable character he always was. Even one of the gangsters turn human in the end, but it's too late to stop the tragedy... Raymond Scott's music also contributes to the effort of making it a convincing noir, and almost succeeds...John Drew Barrymore's charming smile doesn't help him much, but he makes the best of it, in this bitter story of a bitter destiny......
