Review of The Big Heat (1953) by A R — 22 Aug 2007
Lee Marvin and Gloria Graham give wonderful performances in this. Lang's direction seems a bit lacking in style compared to some of his other American films, especially Scarlet Street. But the story is quite good, layers upon layers of conspiracies and corruption.
No doubt a substantial influence on the more recent L.A. Confidential.
