Short description

An aging hood is about to go back to prison. Hoping to escape his fate, he supplies information on stolen guns to the feds, while simultaneously supplying arms to his bank robbing chums.

What's left behind the scenes

While preparing for the role, Robert Mitchum (1917-1997) regularly spoke with local police officers to adopt a Boston accent.
Rehearsals lasted for two weeks before filming began.
