With this role, Mitchum took the too-cool noir protagnist to new heights, heights not to be seen again. Meanwhile, Douglas is his perfect antithesis, Greer is the femme fatale par excellence, and Tourneur assimilates all the potential he showed in his earlier Val Lewton horror films to arrive at a true noir masterwork.

This is the NoirDB creator's all-time favorite Film Noir movie! This movie is darkly funny, with a classic web-of-lies plot that can take multiple viewings to fully digest (as is so often the case with classic Noir films). Mitchum and Greer are fantastic as the leads, but just as noteworthy is Kirk Douglas, who perfectly plays the ever-smiling villain with an oily, sinister charm.
