(1950) Lee J. Cobb, Jane Wyatt, Jon Dall, Lisa Howard. Cobb is very good as a tough, long-time homicide detective. Things get very complicated for him, though, when he witnesses his socialite girlfriend (Wyatt) gun down her husband in cold blood. Cobb is inclined to look the other way because of his affections for her but things get even more complicated when Cobb's eager-beaver younger brother—also a detective—is assigned to the case. What's an older brother to do? A very entertaining piece of gritty film noir. From 16mm.
