Also known as 'The Concrete Jungle', Losey's crime pic features a stunning performance by Baker as a self-destructive loner caught between a sadistic prison warden and the underworld kingpin who wants to kill him. The director's American sensibility gives it a visual style that sets it apart from other British movies of the time.
