What do you think she meant when she said “a huge black monster with giant claws”?
A surprisingly safe and friendly expose of the wildcat trucking business, but no less enjoyable for it. George Raft and Humphrey Bogart speed about the country getting into scrapes and avoiding the loan sharks, and there’s a seething, vaguely seditious air of up-the-workers. It all gets sidetracked in the second half by a hokey, noirish murder plot, but all is forgiven when we are treated to the unforgettable sight of Ida Lupino being dragged from the courtroom wailing that ‘the doors made me do it!’.
