Hollywood remakes everything under the sun, but anything that points out the flaws of unregulated capitalism just goes the way of the Dodo. This movie remade in 2024 would win all the Oscars. It's beyond poignant at this time.
I haven’t seen this movie in forty plus years. Last time I saw this was when I was a 5 years old. As this movie opened, out of mind memory, I said out loud, “they’re coming to get you Barbara….” Have no clue what that’s all about but it’s stored in my mind! 🤣

A Savage feme fatale performance by Ann . She was magnificent . Tom Neal was extremely believable. At the end when the police gave him a lift. What a touch . The fact he got away with it made the movie. Had me from beginning to end. Great movie 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿!
This movie was a good background movie when friends were over, and we would imitate the characters 😂😂😂😂 good would be film noir with better actors and complexity a joke the blind says she didn’t believe in the ghosts that haunted Tom. lol then she has a conversation with the dead? Very entertaining definitely 60’s type 😂😂😂😂
No ridiculous plot, no sex scenes with every groan and every bit of sweat made visible and obvious to the audience. They cant make good movies anymore.
I truly enjoy the oldies, but this one is a flop. The main character tries to report an attempt on his life, but takes umbrage at the police asking logical questions. He’s told that a parked car he’s sitting in started rolling because the brakes slipped and anyone who has ever driven a vehicle knows that it won’t roll if it’s properly parked and that the brakes have nothing to do with it. I watched it to this 39:27 point and couldn’t watch it any further. It was just too stupid.

It is only a movie. However, there is quite a plot hole. She had to travel to that air strip. Whether she drove herself or took a cab, there would be witnesses. She also has to take a cab to the place where Carl is to do her dirty work. Quite a few witnesses to her night's sojourn.
Sinatra is a genius as he subtly crafts his acting role as a small time hustler and hopeless junk addict with much realism and emotional depth. Caught right between his needy & hussy wife and gorgeously beautiful caring stunning mistress ( Kim Nokav ) -- he is indeed troubled man with a bad monkey on his back ! And it aint easy to change mid - stream and be a straight arrow decent citizen with a good job and sound morals when you straight out of the rotten joint. Beautifully short in B & W ~ its a cautionary morality tale; a telling drama and a warning to all dabblers. Will he finally see reality; shape up and fly right this time around ....or simply relapse decending into depravity & utter despair of a dope fiend .... losing it all once again ? You have to watch it to see outcomes !
