1h 30m
Directed by Richard Fleischer • 1955 • United States
Starring Victor Mature, Richard Egan, Stephen McNally
Both a precision-crafted thriller and a shattering plunge into the neurotic heart of 1950s America, this Southwest-set sunshine noir from genre expert Richard Fleischer charts the intersecting lives of a group of residents in a small Arizona mining town—each grappling with their personal dramas and demons—whose fates collide in a shocking bank heist. Striking CinemaScope compositions, vivid location shooting, and a dynamite cast that includes Victor Mature, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Sylvia Sidney are highlights of this pulp gem.
