Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPenicillin only recently had been introduced, proving to be a life-saving drug in WW2. In postwar Europe, the continent was still in shambles, with a huge black market for everyday necessities, including medicine. The noir classic The Third Man (1949) would further show the shadowy world of medical profiteering.
- GoofsThe story takes place in England, where automobiles and trucks are right-hand drive; the truck Bill drives is left-hand drive. Caveat: There were many U.S. Army vehicles like this left in the U.K. after the war. This one looks like it could have been used in the war as an ambulance as it appears to be a Dodge WC-series 1/2-ton model. Other vehicles in the film are left-hand drive.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Pulp Cinema (2001)
Featured review
Complex film noir
"Kiss the blood off my hands" is a difficult film noir, I think it comes from the actor direction. I found Burt Lancaster sometimes too excessive (was the whip scene necessary?) and far too nervous, and I wondered how can the so calm Joan Fontaine could fall in love with Burt. Robert Newton, who was excellent in "Hatter's castle" and many more, here has too much ticks on his face, it spoils his talent.
Fortunetely, the expressionist cinematography with huge camera movements by Russell Metty is extraordinary, the introduction is puzzling, and it fits well with the great settings by Nathan Juran.
