The Big Heat (1953)
10/10
A sadly forgotten classic
15 October 2000
This is one of the very best film noirs ever...right up there with "Double Indemnity". The dynamite dialogue and acting propel this one, with the legendary Gloria Grahame giving the performance of her career as Debby Marsh. Lee Marvin is impressive as well. This is an extremely well-executed film...the coffee-hurling scene is in my top 10 most memorable scenes ever. Don't miss this one.
