 | | Widmark's performance as Harry Fabian is a jibbering, wheedling, giggling tour de force, as Harry schemes his way to setting up a wrestling match and finally establishing himself as a "somebody." Instead, he manages to irritate the underworld heavies (memorably, Herbert Lom and Francis L. Sullivan) whose fingers are already deeply into the criminal pie. |
 | | Gene Tierney and Googie Withers are the women--one good, one bad--who witness Harry's descent. |
 | | Richard Widmark, Googie Withers, and Hugh Marlowe, in fact, everyone in the cast, including the rare and beautiful real-life Polish wrestler Staislaus Zbyszko, deliver striking performances under Dassin's direction. |
