The criminally under-rated John Payne once again giving a great performance in a Film Noir that ranks with the very best. A tough yet complex storyline is complemented by stylish camerawork and superlative acting from the likes of Lee Van Cleef,Neville Brand,et al.

[@immaterialimmaterial5195]

Absolutely right!

This is in my top 10 Film Noirs! Love this movie! Criminally underrated (pun intended).

YES. And an influence on Quentin Tarantino 🍕🍕🍕🥊

Such a well acted classic, true actors and actresses Did the cigarette companies make massive contributions to the movie industry then?

Everyone smoked back then, it was the thing to do.

Great flick! What was the British film that I assume used this as a template - a bank heist with the getaway car hidden in a truck? The Joe character was an ex-con taxi driver recruited by the police who infiltrates the gang. Think the British one followed this.

This movie is an alright show. Totally predictable and unrealistic scenario. The acting is well done and the ending is so typical of Hollywood. Lee Van Cleef surely was a great pick.

[@fbirdy]

When he asked"was that the guy who saved your life in Hiroshima?"I'd buy him"... Do you know what he meant by, (I'd buy him)? Very curious about this expression.. Thanks

[@guesswho5122]

It's not "Hiroshima" but "Iwo Jima". As to your actual question, I cannot help, though. That is 'tough guy lingo', I presume. - After having watched that scene now I think that this simply is to say that a war hero like him can be trusted: "I'd believe him" , "I'd buy his story" = his version of what really happened. - While still watching, I remembered what the femme fatale and her accomplice in the climactic final scene of Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity (1944) said to each other. She had tried to explain what and why she did it but he curtly answered: "Sorry baby, I'm not buying." She: "I'm not asking you to buy, just hold me close."

[@fbirdy]

@@guesswho5122 Thanks for this reply. Yeah bozo move on the Iwo Jima part.... Thanks again. I love double indemnity, nothing like Barbara....

[@guesswho5122]

@Fee Bird "I love double indemnity, nothing like Barbara" Oh yeah, Barbara and her golden anklet chain ... But she could be funny, too, e.g. as Sugarpuss in Ball of Fire (with Cooper etc.). As to Indemnity, one of my absolute classic film noir favorites: With director Billy Wilder, screenwriters Wilder and Raymond Chandler!, the underlying novel by James M. Cain plus Stanwyck, MacMurray and Robinson nothing could go wrong.

[@fbirdy]

@@guesswho5122 is double indemnity considered a film noir?

[@sodoffbaldrick3038]

If you've ever heard the expression, "I don't buy it", when you think someone's telling a lie, this is basically saying the opposite. Joe's friend believes in his innocence, and has asked his brother to help him. His brother Rick is skeptical at best until he meets him. He's obviously heard his brother tell how Joe risked his life to save him when they were on Iwo Jima, and has decided after meeting Joe that he believes in him too.
