This is a pretty decent example of film noir. The setting is the early 50's with the Communists trying to steal weapon secrets from the US Government.

Richard Widmark is the suave pickpocket without scruples. He gives a pretty decent performance but there is nothing A-List about him. The interesting thing was that he was not only an anti-hero but through most of the film, an unlikeable anti-hero. That is not very normal. Jean Peters gave a so-so performance as the hooker with the heart of gold. That great character actress Thelma Ritter shines as the stool-pigeon.

The plot had its fair share of twists and turns, wisecracks and tough talk. There is a fight scene near the end of the movie (in the subway station) that was pretty gritty and exciting.

I think noir fans (like myself) will enjoy this film. For non-noir viewers, it may seem a little dated and the whole Commie thing a tad overdone.

Detta är ett ganska anständigt exempel på film noir. Inramningen är 50-talet med kommunisterna som försöker stjäla vapenhemligheter från USA:s regering. Richard Widmark är den suave ficktjuven utan skrupler. Han ger en ganska hygglig föreställning men det finns inget A-List med honom. Det intressanta var att han inte bara var en antihjälte utan genom större delen av filmen, en osannolik antihjälte. Det är inte särskilt normalt. Jean Peters gav en så uppvisning som horan med hjärtat av guld. Den stora karaktärsskådespelerskan Thelma Ritter lyser som pallpigeon. Intrigen hade sin beskärda del av vändningar och vändningar, klyftigheter och tuff prat. Det finns en slagsmålsscen nära slutet av filmen (i tunnelbanestationen) som var ganska grynig och spännande. Jag tror att noir fans (som jag själv) kommer att njuta av denna film. För icke-noir tittare kan det verka lite daterat och hela kommunistgrejen lite överdrevs. Är den här recensionen positiv eller negativ? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
