SYNOPSIS
Originally released August 15, 1947
Lizabeth Scott in glorious Technicolor — swirls of yellow hair, emerald eyes, fire-engine red lips and plenty of Edith Head wardrobe changes — is surely something to behold. But she’s only one of the over-the-top treats in this offbeat crime drama. Mary Astor seems a bit too-enamored of her own daughter (Liz), Wendell Corey is murderously miffed at being jilted by partner-in-crime John Hodiak, and beefcake lawman Burt Lancaster seems oblivious to the mix-and-match sexuality surging all around him. Declared by Eddie Muller “The gayest movie ever made in Hollywood’s Golden Era.”
FORMAT: 35mm
