Viewing Notes
Continuing my Film Noir theme this year, I watched this on DVD from Netflix.
A really solid noir with a young Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas, who are both excellent here. It’s easy to see how Mitchum was such a ladies’ man back in the early days.
Douglas’ role here is understated, and he does a great job of it. The standout performance is Jane Greer’s though, as the damsel playing both of them.
Highly recommended!
