Director: Gordon Douglas
Year: 1950
Rating: 7.0
A tough crime nugget here that is part romance, part buddy movie and part
police procedural. It adds up to something pretty good. The title refers
to the night shift when the cops have to deal with the scum, the hoodlums,
the punks, the gangs that come out after dark. It is their job to keep them
in check. The cops are the good guys in this one. Back in 1950 that is how
the police were almost always portrayed in films.
