the big combo (1955)


"I'm trying to run an impersonal business, killing is very personal."
Detective Leonard Diamond (Cornel Wilde) is in love with Susan (Jean Wallace), but she is the unhappy gangster's moll of Mr Brown (Richard Conte). When she attempts suicide ? goes gunning for Brown, determined to make him pay. Unfortunately Mr Brown is a very careful and powerful man, with influential friends.
A classy and stylish noir that does a fine job at building tension from the situation.
