112 minute running time … maybe it could have been tightened up a bit, but this was unhurried, and I loved it. Definitely a Top 500, green-go movie. W.R. Burnett story combined with John Huston direction (and writing). Good story, good writing, good acting, that rare combination that makes a classic movie. “One way or another, we all work for our vice.“

Don’t worry, baby. You’ll have plenty of trips. [Uncle Lon was right, she did]
