    Love Film Noir. ! Wonder if not just the films I fell asleep to at the "Drive in " then after play in the playground..the snack bar and the cartoons and then a bit of noir and then simple sleep of a small child. All seems so familiar. Remember the cracking speakers and the anti mosquito coils ? Well...now I am all grown up (?) and a senior. citizen..with time to watch all these films. I still fall asleep at times ! But always go back and watch what I missed. Then there is the wallpaper, furniture , curtains, fashions, cars and five and dimes etc. Makes me smile. Guess I am blessed to have such good memories.

      You're absolutely right. You could say the ending was cliche, but the force of her delivery makes you feel her rage at being unable to control her son's out of control nature. What a way to die. Don't forget the beginning of the movie, where she passionately pleads with the parole board into releasing him to her.

    * Wow! For an old movie, this had a lot of drama.....this guy was a real jerk! I thought it was a very focused and poignant touch that the directors had the focus on his mother at the end, dying on her bed, and telling him how it was "too late", and how he "should have cried a long time ago"....So true. And then of course where it all ended....also a great focused way of letting moviegoers at that time know loud and clear...."Crime doesn't pay"....and that it will break your mother's heart. Very great moral. Thanks for sharing :)

This was a Very well written and acted movie. At the end Vincent's mother laid it on him so heavy, it was like being buried alive, she really read him, lots of guilt for him to take with him, that he truly earned. Vincent brought a whole lot of pain to the lives of his innocent family.

He was selfish. One could argue that the hoodlum got exactly what he deserved. You live a violent life...you often die a violent death as the Bible so states.

    A B-movie scoring an A+. Talk about neorealism; all of these gangster films of the 40s have nothing to envy De Sica, Rossellini or Visconti.

    I didn't know Lawrence Tierney was a complete menace to society in life. This is his real brother in this movie - Edward Tierney. He bailed Larry out of jail on one occasion of the many, many times he was arrested.
    Tierney was a bad ass until the day he died.

    Gee Whillikers! It looks like Mr. Tierney was not such a good seed in real life.
    From Wikipedia:
    Tierney's numerous arrests for being drunk and disorderly and jail terms for assault of civilians and lawmen alike took a toll on his career.[1] He was an admitted alcoholic who went sober in 1982 after having a mild stroke, once observing he "threw away about seven careers through drink."[3]
    In just seven years between 1944 and 1951 Tierney was arrested a dozen times for brawling, frequently for drunkenness.[7] His legal troubles included a 90-day sentence for breaking a college student's jaw.[8] At the time of a 1958 arrest for fighting two policemen outside a Manhattan bar the New York Times reported he had been arrested six times in California and five in New York on similar charges.[9] In 1973 he was stabbed in a bar fight on the West Side of Manhattan.[10]
    In June 1975, Tierney was questioned by New York City police in connection with the apparent suicide of a 24-year old woman who had jumped from the window of her apartment. Tierney told police he'd come to visit the woman, "had just gotten there, and she just went out the window".[3]

      I did some reading about Mr. Tierney after I read you comment and all I can say is WOW. Was not expecting that he was so menacing in life, a real tyrant. I'm shocked that he didn't get killed or get prison for life. He lived to be 83, and his personality never mellowed with age.

    Tierney didn't make a lot of films, but the ones he made were memorable. he was an outstanding actor, but an alcoholic. He made enemies with too many power figures. He had quite a temper. Eventually, no producer would go near him. And so, a promising career ended.

      Back in those years they had so much trouble with showing the real depth of sexual conduct that I was surprised this movie included the girl as getting pregnant; although, that was the first problem I thought for her when she began acting so suicidal! Even during the 1960s it was a horrible burden of shame if a girl became pregnant and thereby evidencing she had sex before marriage.
      YEAH! The double standard was heavy on females, I knew a girl whose mother put her in youth reformatory (jail) for becoming pregnant and I saw another mother kick her daughter down the front steps cause she brought the shame of pregnancy without being married and this was in the late 1950s.

      Longer career!?! He starred in Quentin Tarentino's "Reservoir Dogs"! If you haven't seen that film you are neither a movie buff nor a film noir buff! I also remember him as a blackmailing PI in Charles Bronson's "Murphy's Law" where he has the completely wrong impression of who the Carrie Snodgrass character is. "Open your mouth and say Aah".
      Didn't realize he was Scott Brady's brother, though in retrospect the resemblence is obvious. The other Tierney here must be a third acting brother.
