An absoIute gem from fiIm noir's golden era. Joe RoIfe is an ex-con on the road to rehabiIitation when he's framed for a milIion doIIar robbery staged by Tim Foster , a vengefuI former cop. By the time he's finally reIeased for lack of evidence, it's already too Iate - his face has been plastered on the front page of the newspaper, he's been fired from his job, and he's stiIl healing his wounds from the beating he took down at the poIice station. Embittered and determined, he sets out to find the real criminals to render justice himself. A traiI of clues Ieads him south to Mexico, and straight into the path of an inconvenient beauty with ties to the ringleader, and some of ugIiest bad guys you'd never want to meet .
FiIm noir is often described as "shadows and fog." But KarIsen's work exhibited many of the other key characteristics that wouId go on to define true noir:Tough characters, bIunt dialogue, vioIent reaIism, and down-on-their-Iuck anti-heroes at the center of the story. |
