Review of The Big Heat (1953) by Adrian B — 11 Jan 2011
It has been a while since I have seen a film noir this delicious and exciting. A fine film. Dark, exciting, and tragic to the bone. The film follows a detective to trying to understand why a police officer killed himself and as in the process of investigation, many others, loved ones perhaps, get caught in the deadly crossfire of this detective.
The acting is splendid from Gloria Grahamme, Glenn Ford, and all others involved. The film noir itself is quite involving and moves very quickly. Grahamme in particular is cast beautifully in this film noir, a definate femme fatale.
A big hit back in 1953; a truly magnificent picture today!
