Tragedy ensues, and the trail leads fairly and squarely back to "Marty". The story is a shade more complex than your usual gangster flick. There is some attempt to develop some of the characters here, and they are imbued with a sense of loyalty as the story develops.

The acting is all adequate - a totally straight role for McLaglen - and it's a surprisingly decent hour long feature to watch.
