3 stars?? Did you actually watch this film or just turn it off after you got to your precious little sample? This is a magnificent early example of the social conscience picture, with a startlingly modern performance from Paul Muni and vigorously directed by Mervyn LeRoy. If you like some of Lang's early impassioned Hollywood efforts like 'Fury' or 'You Only Live Once', as well as later classics like Dassin's 'Brute Force', then you'll like this a lot.
Straw More of a bit of trivia as it made me want to watch it, but if anyone's listened to the album 'Shoplifting' by 'Straw' then the sample at the end of 'Moving to California' is from this film. Really rather good!
