Before he met Melina Mercouri and became an Artist, Jules Dassin made a number of worthwhile thrillers as a Hollywood contract director.
April 15, 2008
Jules Dassin, in his direction, manages extraordinarily interesting backgrounds, realistically filmed to create a feeling both of suspense and mounting menace.
April 15, 2008
A dark, brooding noir, with Widmark riveting as a hustling promoter who sinks into the quagmire of his own ambitions.

Inclined to go over the top, it all too clearly contains the seeds of Dassin's later -- and disastrous -- pretensions.
April 03, 2005
One of the true-blue noir classics. RIchard Widmark is a certifiable force of nature.

One of the best noirs around ... downward-spiral noir in its purest form, even if it trades the traditional urban landscape of the American city for the mean streets of London.

the rare masterpiece that earns the appellation not by announcing its grand intentions but by following them through with sublime confidence and precision
March 25, 2003
A moody piece of Wellesian chiaroscuro (shot by Max Greene, né Mutz Greenbaum) and an occasionally discomfiting underworld plunge.
February 15, 2005
The archetypal film noir.
August 15, 2015
[A] gripping little crime drama.
January 28, 2006
A pointless, trashy yarn.
