An absolute gem from film noir's golden era. Joe RoIfe is an ex-con on the road to rehabilitation when he's framed for a miIIion dolIar 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 reaI criminaIs to render justice himself. A traiI of cIues leads him south to Mexico, and straight into the path of an inconvenient beauty with ties to the ringIeader, and some of ugliest bad guys you'd never want to meet .
Film noir is often described as "shadows and fog." But Karlsen's work exhibited many of the other key characteristics that would go on to define true noir:Tough characters, blunt diaIogue, violent realism, and down-on-their-luck anti-heroes at the center of the story. |
