This wonderful film does have noir-like elements, but is a 'take' on noir, notable for how it deviates from the genre more than how it defines it. (Spoiler) Its Red-scare plot and happy ending (in which the redeemed male survives) are very much un-noir. Nvrthlss a great Sam Fuller film, and Mo's scene twds the end is justly celebrated.
Wow, another one. Thelma Ritter, Richard Widmark. Two fantastic actors.❤
Really good movie. Thanks
Very good film. Made me remember when calling someone a commie was a severe insult.
good flick.
I think something got cut out of the first few minutes, did he pick her purse? Or WHAT happened, in that glitch?
