I don't understand the negatives reviews. This is a superbly constructed story of a working class man (Fonda) who falls in love with a woman (Bel Geddes ) being wooed by an elitist cad (Price). It's a piercing love story, social commentary with direction and cinematography the heightens every frame.
-
It's not a bad noir but misses the mark somehow. Both Fonda and Price make something out of their characters as does the great Ann Dvorak but she is underused.
-
I love Price, but I didn't think his performance in this movie was his best. The story was suspenseful at times, but boring at other times, and overall predictable.
-
It takes about three minutes for Henry Fonda to shoot Vincent Price and a glorious hour and a half to find out why. A reworking of Marcel Carne's <i>Le Jour se lève</i> (1939).
