  • Ok, glad you got this one. Im gonna sit back relax and enjoy it!

  • Thanks for showing this! Another great Widmark/Fox Film Noir. And boy is that Jean Peters sexy. Some great Noir scenes. And Thelma Ritter was always a good character actress. Ditto Samuel Fuller- a great director.

  • Marilyn Monroe was originally the first choice to play Candy, but Jean Peters was chosen instead because she was better suited for the role. Jean & Marilyn were friends off the set and starred together in Niagra.

  • Jean Peters never ceases to amaze me. Of course, I cannot be truly objective because I had a huge crush on her and I still have, half a century later.But I find it interesting that modern viewers seem to discover her and to find her so modern. I hear comments like :"Hey, mac, who's that, who's THAT, man she's HOT!" Stuff like that. She seems to GROW on them. Heh! I'm not surprised! That's how Jean Peters  was!..........

  • Jean Peters usually played the good girl. Interesting to see this role. No winder Howard Hughes fell for her just watching her in a movie. Widmark could out act anyone by just standing still. Best under rated actor ever. Miss his energy and devotion to any role he played. Never made a bad movie. Great character actors. Thanks for this.

  • Jean Peters did not want to play a sexy role in this film..she wanted her good acting to show through not her beautiful face and figure..

  • Thank you soooo much!!!! I've been looking for this for years!!!!

    

  • 06:13 Jean Peters started reminding me of Juliette Lewis.

  • Oh wow,this is such a good movie!Thanks rc12069 for posting

  • The performances here are amazing. The actors don't have to speak; the expressions on their faces show what hard, tough people they are. They truly embody their roles.

  • Richard Widmark. A great actor and one of my favorites. He was so underrated. So glad we have his films to remember him by.

  • Noir. A pickpocket or other "anti-hero" is still scum. Noir essentially means even the hero and heroine are scum.
