Former private detective Jeff Bailey is trying to live a quiet life, but his past comes back to haunt him. He was once hired by a gambler to find his runaway girlfriend, Kathy. Jeff traced her to Mexico and fell in love. She lured him into double-crossing the gambler, but it was really Jeff who got double-crossed. Years later, Jeff's quiet life is once again shattered as his old criminal associates descend on him. Now he's in deep trouble - someone is trying to frame him for murder.
Viewer Reviews
A great movie from RKO Pictures, 1947, and I was between 3 and 4 years old!
Watching this classic and classy movie again I feel both humor and black humor as intended, noir, as the French termed it. Also, watching Mitchum being treated as a pin ball in a machine, soon makes you want to distrust everyone else in the picture, while looking for the frame too.
It was a difficult movie to be in as almost everyone of note ends up dead and only the two people you would least suspect are the only ones having a shot, no pun intended, at a happy ending.
This is truly a magnificent motion picture that will linger with the viewer, one to be watched again and again. I think I first saw the movie on TV in glorius black and white and not a thing has changed over the years.
If you like Mitchum, Greer, and Douglas this is a film for you. Though most of these folks are now dead they have left us a terrific picture from those far gone days.
Semper Fi.
