Force of Evil (1948)

Posted on 04:34 by uthpa

USA
Feature Film
Director: Abraham Polonsky
Writers: Abraham Polonsky, Ira Wolfert
Cinematographer: George Barnes
Composer: David Raksin
Cast: John Garfield, Thomas Gomez, Marie Windsor, Howland Chamberlain, Roy Roberts, Paul Fix, Stanley Prager

Full of great emotions, grand gestures, and epic shadows, Polonsky’s slightly camp, slightly over-the-top, gangland melodrama – depicting a couple of apocalyptic days in the lives of two estranged brothers, both involved in the numbers rackets, but at opposite ends – is a beautifully operatically shot, staged, and acted fatalistic gem.
