Underrated Great flick -- the only minor flaw might be the casting of Glenn Ford as the lead (Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of his) -- I just have a little problem with him physically asserting himself (Like he does in Blackboard Jungle with the young toughs), especially when put next to ultimate heel Lee Marvin. Greatly talented cast and a tight story line, although a tad predictable; but normal for the era (the good guys always win!). Gloria Grahame is the perfect femme fatale of dubious loyalty (prototype for Bond women?) -- the kind of girl you probably don't take home to mother but boy will you take her everywhere else. Best line (perhaps not original) -- "I've been rich and poor and believe me, rich is better!"
