    Really interesting Noir from Nicholas Ray.

    It's sort of the Dusk till Dawn of it's day. It's a picture of two distinct halves.

    The first a police film.
    The second a chase.

    It's easy to see why this film, with it's early use of hand held camera was an inspiration for the Fren...( read more)ch new wave.

    As Godard said "Nicholas Ray is cinema"

    A great psychological noir. Completely changes tone in the middle which almost makes watching this film like a double feature.

    Intriguing little noir picture about a jaded, hard-bitten city cop coming apart at the seams, who is forced out to the country after handing out too many beatings to criminals in the big smoke. While investigating a rural murder, he meets an independent blind woman whom he falls ...( read more)hard for. Unfortunately... she's the prime suspect's sister. Being a Nicholas Ray film, the emotions are tough, the pace is taut, and there's plenty of genuine suspense, but it all leads to a not-entirely convincing ending.

    A little disjointed, but overall a good film.

    Nicholas Ray transforme un film noir en mélo avec une grace infinie...
  • January 10, 2008
    A very unusual film noir with it's change halfway through, brief moments of hand-held camera and the lead female is actually a tool of salvation. Very convincing story and acting from both Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan. Lupino also took the directing reigns for a while when Nicholas...( read more) Ray took ill.
