Sorry I don't already know this, but who is "MisterLime" and what is his connection to Olive Films? Just trying to figure out where the info came from.

Great film, and one I haven't seen in many years. Looking forward to September.

NoirFan · 07-18-2013, 02:10 AM

Superb noir. Alton's cinematography should look wonderful in HD. He was truly one of the best.

DarknessBDJM · 07-18-2013, 04:17 AM

I've been waiting a long time to see Alton's cinematography in hd, the man is one of the all time greats.

Mr. Thomsen · 07-18-2013, 08:59 AM

Very cool! I can finally retire that old snapper case DVD.

HotRats · 07-18-2013, 09:53 AM

Great film, I can finally bin my off air recording. The hearing aid scene stands out

Scottie · 07-18-2013, 01:41 PM

Sounds like a neat little noir, I'll definitely check it out!

I just finished watching this, it's a fantastic film - I was shocked how good it was, not expecting anything from it. The cinematography is incredible.

John Alton was one of the masters - check out He Walked by Night, The Amazing Mr. X, Raw Deal and T-Men. All textbook noir lighting. Beautiful stuff.

Yep, The Amazing Mr X is a favorite of mine - I have the Sony MOD DVD, struck from a UK source and the quality is quite good. Sadly, unlikely to hit Blu-Ray I imagine, but you never know. Anyway, as soon as I saw Alton's name at the beginning of The Big Combo, I knew I was in for a treat. Looks like I will just have to suck up that high pre-order price

silverlakephil · 07-25-2013, 02:06 PM

Looking forward to this one. Question, was a a capture of this film used for the cover The Film Noir Encyclopedia?
