John Huston directed two of the greatest "film noir" classics. This and "The Maltese Falcon". Like so many other stars of the 40's Sterling Hayden was a WWII vet, actually a true war hero. James Whitmore and director Huston also served with distinction. Those were the days when America rich or poor was truly one nation/
@anniechristien Why not though the actors I have in mind for Dex Handley and Bob Brannom would have been perfect for Ron Perlman (of Sons of Anarchy)as Handley while Clancy Brown(of Highlander fame) as Brannom though they are now a tad bit old for these roles, while the greedy & cowardly Alonzo D. Emmerich played by Gene Hackman and the late great James Whitmore who played the hunchbacked Gus Minissi in the original returns as the mastermind Doc Riedenschneider.
Such a fantastic scene. Among Huston's best. The lighting on the rather shifty eyes of Brad Dexter is sensational. And Dix's berating of Emmerich after gunning down his flunky is one of the great lines --and line readings-- out of noir.

Brilliant acting on the part of Calhern. He goes from effortless confidence to hesitation to visible nervousness and finally abject fear. Wonderful.

SMOOTH performance by Louis Calhern ,and a long way from his over the top performance in the original count of monte christo which i recently watched

Funny to see Brad Dexter as Branom after seeing him as Harry Luck in "The Magnificent Seven".

I always felt bad for "country".That relationship with "doll"was kind of strange.
