One of he best noir movies of film history. Everything is perfect, the script full of clichés but never desappointing, the black and white (especially for the beginnig and the end) ,the characters more complexes than usualy, the cast (Cornel Wilde, Richard Conte, Lee van Cleef, Brian Donlevy... A masterpiece, towatch and watch again. Thanks.
Great noir in every direction. The detective's bitter journey to right wrong, an equally cunning underworld villain, the dame caught in the middle. Dark alleys, double crosses, murder even a torture scene. Brian Donlevy's death scene is priceless and like the film itself... pure plup noir at it's best!
Conte is fantastic in this. Underneath the cool, sociopathic exterior is a man burning with anger and humiliation. He can get anything he wants except Alicia's respect.

One of the all time great noirs directed by Joseph H Lewis. Conte gives an amazing performance!

A pity they couldn't have given Richard Conte a better-written part than that of the two-dimensional crook he plays here. It's comic-book stuff.
