I was just reading about the two main actors on Wikipedia, and did you know that Tom Neal, who plays Roberts, shot his wife in the back of the head, killing her? And that prosecutors sought the death penalty, but he only got charged with involuntary manslaughter? Yeah. He was given a sentence of 10 years, but got out after six.
Let me repeat that: HE SHOT HIS WIFE IN THE HEAD. This movie just became 100 times more awesome. I didn't care for it before, but now... damn. Murdered his wife! Jesus.
It really pays for the money: what a splendid film! And I love both protagonists, they have a chemistry hard to find. Thanks for sharing with us this masterpiece!
