Everything you could ask for of a thriller is dished up in superlative fashion here. 'Sterling Hayden 'is outstanding as ' Dix Hanley ' a two bit heavy crook who is hired to lead a group of people ( as the heavy ) to rob a bank .........who eventually proves he has more brains than braun.......... there is also great support from ' Sam Jaffe (the mastermind of the plan ) ' ' Marc Lawrence' ( the middle man ) and ' Anthony Caruso..( the safe cracker ) '.........Jean Hagen ' also makes a fine femme fatal. Also stunning is ' Marilyn Monroe.....WoW!!!! The film is shot with almost documentary style by ' Joh Huston ' ........who continues to influence heist movies even today. The plot is fairly simple ........robbing a bank really .....so there's no need to go into into too much detail here.............it 's more a question of what happens afterwards..........as the net begins to close about everyone involved . Again this is a film you much watch......one of the best B / W film noirs you are likely to see....Highly recommended for sure!!!!!!
