02/05/07 : The Big Heat



'The Big Heat' (1953)

A cop suicide opens this story of corruption, murder and hot coffee in the face! Starring a villainous Lee Marvin, Gloria Graham as the spunky femme fatale with a burns problem, and Glenn Ford as the cop trying to unravel the corruption that he suspects is at the heart of his department. When a bomb planted for him kills his wife instead, he begins to fight back....but i forgot how it ends :(

Well it was a few weeks ago, so my stoned little brain is having trouble remembering this film! But as far as 'film noir' goes, I'd say its up there with classics such as 'Double Indemnity', so for fans of Noir I'd say it was worth a punt.
