Throughout, despite its omniscient, stark melodrama, there has been no sight lost of an element of humor.

...Glossily hard-boiled....Local color tends toward the lurid shades... -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
Affords the viewer a look at a type of city life that has long since disappeared, giving the film a kind of documentary time-capsule flavor.
