An interesting study of a forger, his conscience, and rising panic as the noose tightens. We spend a fair amount of time observing the highs and lows of a guy who's decided to take the wrong route to easy street, and it allows for a pretty rounded portrait of a character the viewer can't help but find both despicable and pitiable.
Nicely and energetically filmed, with lots of clever cutaways from the villain to his pursuers, at least until the end, where the action becomes a bit rushed and confusing, and the conclusion seems somewhat perfunctory; and It's a pretty fair bet the actor playing the cop-bum didn't win any awards for his perfomance. This one's also somewhat interesting for the now antiquated specifics of the particular crime--I had no idea what a "check protector" machine is, and am still somewhat vague on it.
