Based on the life of gangster Lucky Luciano, who was convicted on the testimony of prostitutes who were tired of being mistreated by him. Bogart was good as the DA. But Bette David, who I am not a fan of to begin with, was totally unbelievable as the hard-as-nails, sassy Mary. Her ridiculous dramatic overacting almost turned what could have been a good movie into a comedy. But not quite. Instead, it was just bad.
