Regia
Henry Hathaway
Un giornalista di Chicago aiuta una donna a dimostrare che suo figlio, condannato per l'omicidio di un poliziotto, è innocente. Basato su una storia vera, questo thriller è un buon esempio di quel realismo semidocumentaristico che si diffuse a Hollywood nel primo dopoguerra. Oltre all'asciutta ed efficace regia di H. Hathaway, le sue carte vincenti sono la fotografia di Joe McDonald e l'interpretazione di J. Stewart. Notevole anche K. Orzazewski nella parte di Tillie.
