Whether you want to complete Jules Dassin for yourself or take a look at Lee J. Cobb in one of his trademark excellent bad guy roles, or just see a great, underrated noir, you can't go wrong with this film. Criterion came out with a DVD for it in early 2005, apparently. The cover art, with a bunch of apples resting on a lonely highway, is one of my favorites, if anyone cares about stuff like that.Coleman's Corner in Cinema...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04761319284479513957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4342369910596581403.post-33858152654754596572008-05-08T18:32:00.000-07:002008-05-08T18:32:00.000-07:00Holy crap.
