Coincidentally, I was learning about a local suburban Philadelphia theater on their website today (http://www.amblertheater.org/hsn.php)and saw that this is playing there in August. I wonder if it would be worth it to make the trip to see it on the big screen.

Good review Jay. One of my personal noir favorites and long overdue for Criterion treatment (like Kubrick’s The Killing). It’s interesting to note the film’s contention that in a post-hiroshima/ cold war society that everyone is culpable, corrupt and doomed. it is testament to Aldrich’s breakneck direction that the House of Un-American Activities failed to take notice. This is his masterwork and it’s a shame most contemporary audiences will likely dismiss the hysterical and off-kilter tone as fifties melodrama. Like it’s contemporary Night of the Hunter, the film seems to exist in a different reality.
