Good, Well Made Noir
I suppose I like the cast better than the film, itself. Heflin, Palance, Ann-Margret, Chandler, and Delon are all watchable.This may very well be Chandler's finest performance (and he was always good at playing bad guys).
The story is one we've all seen before, many times, yet the cast makes it worth watching. Ann-Margret might not have been as good as she could have been, but she's not really that bad.
Even the scenes involving the little girl work well, and the chemistry between she and Delon is exceptional.
The surprise ending is tense and exciting. Too bad there's no DVD of this film. I'd buy it.
