That's all those stupid Fluid-Matic transmissions were good for--they confused people with their pretension at being automatic but still having a Safety Clutch!
A noir masterpiece. Love Robert Mitchum. One of my favourite all time actors. I'm hoping someone like the Criterion Collection can give this a DVD release.
Friend just attended an off broadway, NY, production... Naked Boys Singing. or something like that. (As their title conveys.. naked boys singing) Anchor song is their dedication to Robert Mitchum. Not sure how/why time passes so quickly. Was shocked when she/I were recalling memories as she said that very, very few of people in audience knew who he was. Seems as just yesterday he was young and dashing... born 1917.... Gracious!
@hottracksable I ran across a photo of Jean Simmons just last night and was rather thrown (again) at the thought of her passing. I liked Mitchum too. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here. Thanks for the comment! :)
i love the haunting melody by dimitri tiomkin...may have been on soundtrack lp, which nobody has anymore. would love a re-issue! simmons does her best vivien leigh imitations throughout this one...she's SO beautiful one doesn't care that she's a murderess! just play the melody on the piano and all is forgiven!

@hottracksable That's sad to think that anyone wouldn't know who he was. I used to love too watch him walk. Silly but true.

Wow... Wish I could get a copy of full flick. Robert Mitchum shall forever live on! Hard to believe Jean is now gone as well. Keedeeg.... thanks!

i noted earlier i thought the theme may have been called 'catherine's theme.' my mistake...simmons' character was 'diane.'

Psychological film noir drama masterpiece from genius Preminger with Simmons as an unforgettably sad sort of femme fatale
