Excellent "cinema noir" film on DVD, with George Raft, Virginia Mayo, and Raymond Burr.Quick delivery and reasonable price.

Another young Raymond Burr movie a little too scary for me but I did watch it. Thanks

I gave it 4 stars for the actors ..it was an ok movie ..but not as good as it could have been ..no real substance to it ...but then that is just my own view ..some one else might love the movie ..buy it if you it ..I really do not like reviewing movies , to personal ..good picture and sound quality

POSSIBLE SPOILER: A member of the Film Noir family, this film features tough guy George Raft who is out for revenge since his war hero brother was murdered. Raft was one of those actors whose range was limited. He acted not from A to B, but from A to C, with as much expression as Jerry Mahoney. Mayo is featured, but her role is limited. She has more to do in WHITE HEAT in her '40's career, blooming more fully and more attractively in the 50's with her musicals. The real focus of the movie is on Raymond Burr who is the obvious villain. How producers saw him as Perry Mason in all his roles in the 40's is amazing. Weight loss must do wonders. Harry Morgan shows up in a supporting role. Both actors went on to greater careers in TV than the principals. Anyway, the film is a crime drama that is pretty interesting, with Raft trying to find the responsible killer, though the ending leaves you wondering why bad guys always seem to climb up structures like mountains or in this case an overhead sign when they are cornered. Does that ever happen in real life? How is escape possible when one is a easy target from below?

Great noir. With Raft reliable as always and with a pre-Perry Mason Raymond Burr as a creepy villain, lots of noirish shadows, and an interestng theme about revenge and redemption, who can ask for more?

Great product. Indeed, the classic film acting chemistry of the intellectual George Raft and the sophisticated Virginia Mayo represents a truly fine film achievement.

What can I say, love George Raft, great film, many thanks
