From Zola 'La Bête Humaine', by way of Renoir, though this has a dramatically different outcome.
Force of big trains, railways, momentum, well caught. Nasty.
Loved Peter B asking Lang why in the climactic scene where he's supposed to kill Crawford the camera is so high up. 'So you can see everything.'
Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame (always great), Broderick Crawford (always menacing).
Shot by Burnett Guffey and though it seems wrong for a film of this era it actually does seem to be in 1.85:1.
The ending of unpunished crimes seems shocking and against the code?
