Indeed, although the Hollywood production code dictated that Schary had to change screenwriter John Paxton’s script (based originally on Richard Brooks’ controversial novel, The Brick Foxhole) such that its anti-homosexual tale became an anti-Semitic one, Dmytryk’s film remains one of the most compelling dissections of blind, irrational hatred (fascism, even – and thence maybe anti-Communism, even) to ever reach the big screen. So many others have written excellent reviews of this classic, I will suffice to say, that what they were raving about, I agree with! Director Dmytryk has an impressive resume but this jumped to the top of my list. 50s and 60s. I already had a NTSC pirate copy of "Crossfire", but I think this is a great movie, so I decided to purchase the PAL edition, by Universal pictures. I felt this transfer doesn’t do the film any justice whatsoever.

Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations ‘Crossfire’ was actually produced as a ‘B’ movie, but made Hollywood history by garnering an Oscar nomination for ‘Best Picture’, despite this. Another classic Robert Mitchum with strong performances from Robert Ryan, Robert Young. The print quality of other films from this collection has been superb, this one was less so. I have to agree with your two star reviewer on this production. Picture quality is absolutely dreadful. I have recently read biographies of Robert Mitchum and Gloria Grahame. To support my reading, I have begun watching the movies both are best known for. The only hint of this being the B film that it is... is in the brief 85 minute runtime. Noirish too. A classic film noir very dark and brooding very much of the time it was made . Hoping “Crossfire” will be a lot better from Warner Archives. Loved it. Doesn't seem dated in the least. Obviously, no-one had listened to this song before making this film. I even increased the brightness and contrast. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Who knows, the cast may well have been using this film as an audition piece for that crass soap opera?If your into the classic period of Hollywood film noir you will enjoy this. There's not much of a mystery to who the murderer is: even though the killing is carried out in classic noir shadows, the body language of the killer is instantly recognisable, but then the film has its characters drift to the same conclusion before the halfway point: the tension comes from proving it and saving the fall guy.A TOP CLASS CRIME DRAMA, THAT STILL, SADLY, RESONATES TODAY.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2018
