Promising Noir -- Mixed Results
The first half sets up a promising noir as returning vet and con-manNick Blake (Garfield) deals with double-crossing sweetie Toni (Emerson)and a civilian life changed by the war. To get better bearings, herelocates to the coast of Southern California, whose miles of sun-drenched, sandy beaches looks like an advertisement for the bigpost-war migration that was to follow. There he's persuaded to take uphis old ways by fleecing a trusting rich widow played by Fitzgerald,only he gets more than he bargained for.It's a well thought out screenplay (WR Burnett) that provides plausiblemotivation for most of the many twists and turns-- except for thesultry Toni's sudden presence in California, a padded segment thatperhaps justifies the actress's featured billing. The young, ruggedlyhandsome Garfield is excellent, as usual, and makes a persuasive conartist. Ditto Fitzgerald, whose sweetly innocent beauty could turn anyman's head, including Nick's. But especially good is George Tobias in aquestionable role for noir of comic relief-- he manages to be bothmildly amusing and convincingly tough as Nick's loyal henchman. And, ofcourse, there's the great Walter Brennan as aging con-man with heart,Pop Gruber. Note also the atmospheric dive where Pop hangs out, withits clamorous clientele and a barkeep who really looks like he couldhandle them director Negulesco knows how to stock an effectivebackground.The movie contains many elements of noir, as well as the fine cast.Despite these positive elements, Negulesco's slow, deliberate pacing ismore consistent with a romantic or psychological approach than with acrime drama. Consider, the final sequence on the pier and how slow anddrawn-out the action is, even draining away some of the intendedsuspense. Ditto the agonizing wait in the coffee shopÂit's colorfulwith the counterman, but over-done, nevertheless. I agree withreviewers who think the movie ends up straddling several moviecategories, without excelling at any. In my little book, the resultcomes across smoothly, but doesn't combine its parts into anything morememorable than a generally entertaining studio product.

The Genius of W.R. Burnett
Of all the Hollywood writers now associated with classic film noir--among them James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler & Dashell Hammett theleast known and perhaps least appreciated is W.R. Burnett who wasresponsible for the story and often the screenplay of a number of filmcrime classics, among them the films Scarface, Little Caesar, HighSierra and Asphalt Jungle. Burnett's dialog is as sharp and tough asthe others, and he often displays a finer insight and even greatersympathy for the criminal mind than the others whose stories featureand sometimes romanticize the hard-boiled detective. This excellentlydirected and photographed film tells the story of a charming con-man,perfectly played by John Garfield, who falls for the widow he is tryingto cheat. The petty crooks who people his world played by a superb castof character actors (George Coulouris, Walter Brennan, George Tobias)are all clearly drawn and don't resemble the usual cliché gang membersof other films. Burnett obviously knew this world better than hiscolleagues.
