फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Cornel plays "Uncle Charlie", a ne'erdowell prodigal son returned to his brother's home while on the run from a capital crime with his gang of gruesomes. As its plot unfolds, we learn many disturbing lessons about Charlie and his brother and his brother's wife.
Akin to cinematographic pulp fiction, this is a memorable effort perhaps due to its depiction of universal, timeless human flaws. You'll love to hate Uncle Charlie, but I think you'll enjoy the rest of the cast even more.
This "film noir", which is not very well known in German-speaking countries, premiered on December 16, 1955 in New York City and is a representative of the so-called Black Series of American films that impressed in the 1940s and 1950s with their darkness and resounding cynicism. The Hungarian-born American leading actor Cornel Wilde (1915-1989), who made his first contacts with the film business in 1940 as Laurence Olivier's fencing coach on Broadway, also acts as a producer with his Theodora Productions and also directs. What a self-made man!
It tells the dark story of three bank robbers, Charlie Blake (Cornel Wilde) and his cronies (Steven Hill, Lee Grant), who have to hide from the police in the snowy mountain hut of Charlie's brother Fred (Dan Duryea). Old family conflicts break out because Fred is married to the beautiful Elizabeth (Jean Wallace, married to Cornel Wilde from 1951 to 1981), who was actually Charlie's girlfriend in her youth. The couple's ten-year-old son (David Stollery) hardly knows his Uncle Charlie and suffers greatly from his parents' alienation. Due to the seemingly hopeless situation, the situation for those who are virtually trapped becomes more and more dire until the intruders finally lose their nerve...
Here, an exciting, dark crime story is skilfully combined with a heart-touching family drama. The unity of place, time and plot is almost classically maintained and increases the intensity of this film gem immensely.
Cornel Wilde, who was particularly noticeable for his impressive physique in films such as "The Greatest Show in the World" (1952) and "Constantine the Great" (1961), proves to be an accomplished film craftsman who understands a lot about the structure of a drama and the The requirements of the genre are met almost perfectly.
In her rather small role as nightclub singer Edna Rogers, Lee Grant, born in 1925, creates a truly magical moment when she sings the song about "Loch Lomond" in a wonderfully off-key way. Twenty years later, Lee Grant was awarded an Oscar for best supporting actor for her role as a bored housewife in "Shampoo" (1975), who likes to bring her strong-armed hairdresser (Warren Beatty) into the house for special treatments.
Former decathlete Dennis Weaver (1924-2006), who was supposed to play a very special role in Steven Spielberg's directorial debut "Duel" (1971), can be seen as Hank, the helping hand of the Blake family.
A very exciting film that is still little known! It's worth it!

This was her only feature role in the eight-year span between her debut, Detective Story (1951), and Middle of the Night (1959). Grant later noted that she earned enough money on the film to afford to have a baby; her daughter, Dinah Manoff, went on to become a Tony-winning actress.
