Film noir with spectacularly photographed set pieces.
May 20, 2003
As mere movie melodrama, pieced out as a mystery which is patiently unfolded by a sleuthing insurance man, it makes a diverting picture.

Compelling, beautifully shot film noir, marking the stunning debut of Burt Lancaster.

The movie darts around in time, constantly surprising and adding more depth to the character of The Swede. It's a psychological exploration of a man who was so worn down by life that he merely gave up.
April 08, 2008
An example of film noir at its most expressive.
