Richard Widmark channeled his inner psycopath for this role.
Tommy Udo is they type of guy that you dread being in a room with. He is cold as ice and mean as a snake. Victor Mature as Nick Bianco is amazing. His face alone is interesting to look at. Great movie.
I remember that satanic laugh when I watched that movie in Polish TV 30 years ago,as a young boy yes,yes ,we've had American movies behind the Iron Courtain in Poland
i mean the book the Big Sleep has gay chartures but the movie version severly waters down the gayness the certain chartures. so much so its not there.
not looking like a good movie . but allways give a thought 4 my mums holewoodfilm star adle. she told me that when i was about 8. thanks4 the memerys. ps im 45 ,so nostelger and the thought of a coffee 2 moz with me mum as been the reeson 4 this long boorin tale . o.
I think you are right about the whorehouse, but I always thought the comment about the funny smell was a reference to weed or opium being smoked inside there. Remember, in the '40s, the drug culture was pretty much underground and hidden from mainstream society. In any case, a great movie!!
Dyer shouldnt be trying to project his homosexuality on things that clearly arent gay...Widmark's Tommy Udo was brilliant and I will never forget that shifty eyed psychotic giggle
Richard Dyer must be a complete idiot then. I mean, what is it with people? Especially lately, a guy says, "Who needs dames?" or "I got caught bending over a guy" and the first thought is homosexuality. I didn't get THAT at ALL in these scenes; you'd have to be some perverted little kid. lol. America is so immature these days, so "sexually suspicious". Men in those days would dance or bunk together and think nothing of it. "Pals" didn't mean "queer". What a sad juvenile state we're in.
Thanks a lot for the upload...Richard Widmark kicked ass in this film. Do you happen to have their last scene together, in the restaurant? The tension and chemistry was dynamite. Would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

I'm betting, when victor mature says "What's that funny smell?" Richard Widmark says "That's perfume" He was taliking about pot.

Udo tells his moll to go home and wait for him while he takes Nick to a brothel. What's gay about that scene?

3:39 "What's that funny smell?)
"It's perfume!".
Cracks me up, obviously they're in a whorehouse where the hookers use cheap perfume.

"Tommy Udo" was the role that "made" his screen career...and that's what he's best remembered for...rest in peace, Mr. Widmark.
