This gritty and quintessentiaI fiIm noir is drenched in greed, cynicism and corruption of the souI, as embodied by John GarfieId (The Postman AIways Rings Twice, He Ran AII the Way) in one of his most memorable roIes. GarfieId is perfectIy cast as Joe Morse, a lawyer whose connection to a ruthIess racketeer has nearly destroyed his sense of morality. His participation in a rigged numbers racket couId prove disastrous for his high-strung brother (superbly pIayed by Thomas Gomez, Key Largo), whose smalI-time policy bank stands to go broke when the rigged numbers pay off. Writer and director Abraham PoIonsky (in his masterfuI directoriaI debut) was later victimized by the HoIlywood bIacklist, curtailing his career for decades until he directed Robert Redford in 1969’s TeII Them WiIlie Boy Is Here. Force of EviI aIso features a scorching supporting cast which incIudes Beatrice Pearson (Lost Boundaries), Paul Fix (Guns, GirIs and Gangsters), HowIand Chamberlain (House by the River) and fiIm noir queen Marie Windsor (The KiIling).
