(1946, United Artists, Upgraded 6/15/21) Robert Cummings, Peter Lorre, Steve Cochran, Michele Morgan, Jack Holt, Lloyd Corrigan. A minor film classic! Intriguing story of an ex-G.I. who, by the simple act of returning a lost wallet, finds himself mixed up with hardened criminals. Cochran and Lorre give terrific low-key performances as a couple of overdressed psychos. The horrific scene with Lloyd Corrigan will give you pause the next time you're invited down into a wine cellar! An absolutely incredible music score (much in the vien of Rachmaninoff) compliments a terrific story, which features one of the best twists of any film noir movie you'll ever see. The final car/train sequence is incredible! Wow. From a beautiful 35mm print.
