Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love This Classic!!
I saw this as a teenager living in Europe shortly after it came out. It's one of those clever story lines that you don't forget. Of course Walter is fantastic in the lead role. No high budget film but an excellent example of how a great story can be told with great actors and it doesn't need much garnish--much as in cooking with really great ingredients! You let them speak for themselves. I Highly recommend this little forgotten GEM!!! Watch it, you'll be glad you did. I hate to say it (but it's ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Only if you like Walter Matthau
I only recommend this movie to those who are fans of Walter Matthau (which I am). The script is fair at best, the directing is lackluster and corny, and Matthau's supporting actors in this movie seem distracted or half-hearted (except Joe Don Baker who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Matthau Makes The Modern-Day Noir Work
This was a pleasant surprise; better than I thought it would be, although I shouldn't have been surprised since Walter Matthau usually plays interesting roles.

What I appreciated was the realism of the story, except for two things at the end of the film such as no one coming to investigate a loud chase scenes and firebombing? Overall, the ending, however, was a very satisfying one, and one that brings you back for future viewings. Matthau also makes the film realistic, as he typecast perfectly ... Read More
