The robbery scene is masterful--those big monstrous gas masks, uncertain who anyone was...and the bleakest of bleak noir endings. Burt played a good noir loser that’s for sure.

Lancaster wasn't an actor who could easily be pigeonholed- the range and variety of characters he played during his career is impressive.

Yes, extremely versatile. It's easy to underestimate him sometimes, but he is definitely up there with some of the greatest actors of all time.

Yes , some good twists. The robbery was well done. Didn’t see the outcome coming. Tom Pedi is always good. He is actually a cousin of one of my friends.
