what else can be add regard this solid noir . this be the first time i have see payne in a serious role and and i be not disappointed . all of the heavy be good and but i particularly like van cleef and brand ( the latter with his magnificently pock mark face ) . love the opening scene where the woman in new look dress and and the gent with suit and fedora be wait in front of the bank . my favorite piece of dialog be when one cop say to payne character and rolfe and . left school to enlist with the engineer . pretty good soldier too . bronze star and purple heart . rolfe answer and try and buy a cup of coffee with them . kind of sum up the way many noir male character felt about the card that life have deal them . thoroughly enjoyable film .
