Sean FennesseyJan 3, 2014J.J. lords over everything, his face almost always in shadow and glasses cover his eyes. Sidney lurks in the background, wringing shaky hands. And the city like a prison, a dungeon. An edge of your seat thriller with no action or mystery beyond who's going to get destroyed…

It definitely has some of the best sharp dialogue in the noir genre and memorable lines. Not my favorite in the genre, but you have 2 of the best performances in classic noir from Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis.
