The Big Combo   1955     3 stars    N/R, 86 min.
Genre: Drama / Thriller
Director: Joseph H. Lewis  
Cast: Cornel Wilde, Richard Conte, Brian Donlevy, Jean Wallace, Robert Middleton, Lee Van Cleef, Earl Holliman, Helen Walker, Jay Adler, John Hoyt, Brian O'Hara, Ted de Corsia, Helene Stanton, Roy Gordon, Steve Mitchell

  This film was considered to be extremely vicious at the time of its initial release and is a good example of film noir. Police Lieutenant Diamond (Cornel Wilde) sets out to get crime boss Mr. Brown (Richard Conte), but he is told to drop the case because of associated extra costs and time. Diamond makes one last attempt to bring the boss to justice by soliciting the help of the boss's girlfriend Susan Lowell (Jean Wallace) whom Diamond also loves. Matters heat up, and, as in life, the distinction between good and bad is not always clear.
