He praises the film &#8212; directed by Michael Curtiz &#8212; for presenting &#8220;the WWII veteran as a disillusioned, financially troubled <em>forgotten man<\/em>&#8221; who may long &#8220;for some of the excitement of war rather than his life of bills to pay and familiar spats&#8221;, and he argues that &#8220;it makes sense that, having reached his breaking point, [Garfield] dares get involved with lawbreakers, risks his life to make a bundle of money in a hurry, [and] contemplates an affair with a loose woman&#8221;. He concludes his review by noting that the film is &#8220;well acted, nicely shot (partly on location)&#8221;, &#8220;smartly written&#8221; and &#8220;has an exciting climactic action sequence and classic final shot&#8221;. Peary&#8217;s review is spot-on, though he neglects to point out the excellent performances all around &#8212; not only by stars Garfield and Neal but by Phyllis Thaxter as Garfield&#8217;s loyal yet far-from-dull wife (&#8220;I can think about you anytime and get excited.&#8221;) and Juano Hernandez as Garfield&#8217;s doomed right-hand man (the scenes with his son [Juan Hernandez] are particularly poignant and heartbreaking).
