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..

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

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.
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.
