Enjoyable performances throughout. Just the same, a very minor Big Sleep.
Derek Adams, Time Out

[Newman] is too fresh, too ruggedly good looking to be consistent as the sort of beat-up slob that his shady detective is intended to be and as Mr. Bogart used to be.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
By combining flamboyant suspense with a sunbaked slice of life and lots of good mean fun, Director Smight makes every clue a pleasure to follow.
