I love that film and Hayden was excellent in it. Always thought it would make an interesting double feature with The Killing. Great and interesting analysis Carol!

Nicely done! My favorite S. Hayden is Kubrick's The Killing, especially love his expression at the very end on the runway... A great example of an artist who did a lot of mediocre things only to finally emerge as a vital talent. I can't imagine the Noir world without him.

Very insightful analysis Carol. I like your take on the Jean Hagan character. Sterling Hayden was a tremendous actor. Loved him additionally as Gen Jack Ripper in “ Dr Strangelove “.
