I read about this movie from professional reviews long before i could ever lay my hands on it. If it is a rights or license issue i don't know, i would even assume, that as we deal with "mature subject matters", broadcasters felt their discretion was advised in a way, as to keep it in the library instead of showing it. What do we have here : A policemen with a fanatic chase of a seemingly untouchable Mobster, who finds no better way then to chase the unsuspecting girlfriend of the gang lord to get to him, later on pulling the mobsters forgotten wife out of an insane asylum, where she hides and going for her also. A mobster, who is vain, relentless and does not hesitate to kill his 2nd in command and his killer duo, once they pose a risk for him. A special treatment for the cop, whom he gets into his hands involving a hearing aid and hair water. The killer duo, not only being brothers in arms, but also brothers of the intimate kind in life. This is as much, as needs to be told on the story, as i don't want to tick the spoiler mark. Get it, on TV, DVD or whatever available and watch it. Film noir had gone a long way from the likes of Big Sleep or Maltese Falcon to get there. But it was worth the travel and worth for anybody with an interest in this genre to view and enjoy it.
