![]() The cop dies in the hospital but before going to heaven tells the truth (if you can believe!). In the ensuing tussle, Cay plugs the cop with his own shooter while Bill was knocked cold by him. When she takes him back to her apartment, her nasty boyfriend George Conover (Hugh Sanders), a venal officer detective, is already there and slaps her around and pulls a gun on him when he goes to her aid. Seeking anonymity Bill goes to NYC, where the lonely and brooding ex-con is smitten with Times Square dancehall hostess at a dime-a-dance joint Catherine ‘Cay’ Higgins (Ruth Roman). But leaves when a local reporter ( John Kellogg) befriends him only to use him by writing about his prison release as an exclusive headline story about the state’s youngest convicted killer returning home. Bill returns to his hometown, even though he has no relatives left there. ![]() After 18 years he’s released from prison and given a stern lecture by the warden to go straight. ![]() Though watchable, the social conscious film remains forgettable–unable to leave a particularly sympathetic lasting impression of its outsider characters, whose distrust of the authorities leads them to be anti-social types and humorless downers for most of the pic.Īt 13 Bill Clark ( Steve Cochran ) killed his abusive drunken father, and has no remorse.
