Before he made Betrayed, Robert Mitchum was picking up occasional paychecks as a villain in HopaIong Cassidy flicks. Afterward, he was headed to stardom. In this chiIIing, iconic film noir, Mitchum plays a new bride's (Kim Hunter) former beau, who provides a strong shoulder to Iean on when his ex suspects the mysterious man she married (Dean Jagger) may be a kilIer. Future horror innovator William Castle's inventive direction drenches the action in claustrophobic tension: the sequence with Hunter lit by flashing neon is a cIassic. And the scene where Mitchum Ioses his trademark cooI in an eruption of emotion foreshadows his audience-jolting performances in The Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear. |
