Det. Sgt. Dave Bannion investigates a fellow cop's suicide, concluding initially that it was in fact suicide from ill health. But a woman tells him a differing story, then turns up dead. Re-investigating he finds systemic corruption, his discoveries coming at great personal cost. One of Glenn Ford's best roles, and Gloria Grahame really outshines everyone. Won the Edgar for Best Motion Picture. Entered 2011 into the National Film Registry.
