The Big Combo

In this down and dirty classic, saturnine mobster Mr. Brown and dogged flatfoot Leonard Diamond slug it out for possession of the sensuous, suicidal Susan Lowell. John Alton’s stunning cinematography is the icing on the cake of what may be the fiercest, most elemental film noir ever produced.
