Info
Neither love nor friendship nor family nor even the sunrise can comfort you in this brilliant but exceptionally bitter noir by genre specialist Siodmak (THE KILLERS, PHANTOM LADY). As a fate-blaming patsy and the inconstant ex-wife he can't stay away from, Lancaster and De Carlo make for a physically beautiful but emotionally toxic couple, with an armored-car heist providing the trigger for deception and double-crosses. Siodmak and cinematographer Franz Planer provide flavorsome location work in L.A.'s long-gone Bunker Hill neighborhood, until the focus narrows down for a final crescendo of restricted vision, nightmarish passivity, and perhaps the cruelest last shot in all of noirdom
