Viewing Notes
A really seedy, grim film noir led by a great William Hartnell as an amoral, revenge-minded petty thief who takes the fall for a smash-n-grab robbery gone wrong while his backers get away. So of course he seeks revenge once he’s out of prison. These are down and out characters that’d be completely at him in FAT CITY. Even the police detectives are unlikable. Perhaps the only “likable” character is Herbert Lom’s crime kingpin Gregory Lang who at least have a suave and cultured air to his character. All this is to say that the movie is great!
