tucker s @tucker83014 Oct 29 Brilliant film noir. Lawrence Tierney does a magnificent job as a filthy rotten scoundrel, primarily because that's what he actually was in real life.

It takes back to a time when the actual violence so decried upon its release is always off camera. That can still be a brutal thing but points out the degree to which things have changed.

See more 01/25/2021 This is about as dark a 1940s film noir as you'll find. It's plot suggests that all people have a sinister side. Robert Wise is the perfect director to explore this theme. And, If you know anything about the real life of the film's lead actor, Lawrence Tierney, you'll know that he's pretty much type-cast as the cocksure, criminal who casts a spell over the women he targets. Claire Trevor, known as the Queen of Noirs, is spellbinding herself. See more Read all reviews
