⭐ Featured Review

One of the better film noir of the fifties.
by Peter220602002-06-28
10/10

"It was rumored that after his role in ALL THE KING'S MEN, John Ireland had demanded too much from the studios. This smaller production is filmed in the same slow mist of the hero's memory. Mercedes McCambridge is excellent as the female support. James Barton gives great support on the male side. It is a strong well acted performance. It should be shown more often. It is a shame that features like this are not shown on today's cable systems or available in any format...."

💡 Did You Know?

Level Louie's Bar is apparently in the 500 block of South Main Street, as the Gayety Theatre @ 523 South Main is directly across the street, thanks to a rear projection visible in several shots. The names of Randolph Scott and Don Ameche appear on the marquee; it was the Gayety's policy of listing the players rather than the titles of the films, on their readerboard.
