Very pulp novel isn't it?

Love the colors, I've never seen this film, is it something you own?

Yeah, I have it on DVD. It has a young Lee Marvin as one of the main heavies. It's in my top twenty Film Noir's, perhaps top ten.

It just occured to me you might've meant the poster itself: no I don't but I wish I did. I have a spanish The Big Combo which is somewhat like this one. I don't really have a good scan of it but once it's framed I'll post a picture. It's considered a key NOIR as well.

Actually, yeah it's the same Lang, that's why I stated 'legendary' because he really was a rather influential director. By the by, I really enjoyed your podcast, it brightened my weekend tremendously.

I was actually referring to the movie itself, I'd be curious to see more of Lang's work.
