Plot

A man agrees to frame himself to expose a flaw in the law.

Sinekatalog’s take

Fritz Lang's final American film has a journalist framing himself for murder to expose capital punishment, then trapped by a twist. Cold and clever, with Dana Andrews, it is a bleak, ironic noir swansong.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
