You won't have to chase after me to purchase this. 😎
This sounds great. Note, that John Alton's cinematography for #TheBigCombo is the first thing that you see in the wiki entry for film noir.

If you google "film noir" chances are that this is the first image that will come up. It is so iconic.
BTW: A restored version of #TheBigCombo is going to be released at the end of March and this is the steelbook cover.... naturally.

Spoiler alert - be wary of a Mr. Brown bearing gifts. 🧐

#TheBigCombo is a masterpiece of noir.
Removing McClure's earpiece is a chilling move.

Mr. Brown's "yes man" is about to get it. The removal of his hearing aid as an act of "mercy" is great/ horrible.

Actress Helen Walker ("Mrs. Brown" despite what she says). Mostly known as "Lilith Ritter" in "Nightmare Alley", this was her final film role.

For those that have never seen #TheBigCombo and have questions about why Fante (Lee Van Cleef) and Mingo (Earl Holliman) are so close ..... it is implied that they are lovers (or as implied as you could be in 1955).

Between Cornel Wilde, Richard Conte, Brian Donlevy, Helen Walker (she shows up a little later on), Jay Adler and Ted de Corsia #TheBigCombo is like a who's who of film noir. I guess Elisha Cook Jr. wasn't available, though. 😂

I imagine that Cornel Wilde (Jean Wallace's real-life husband) was off set when this scene was filmed! 😂 Director Joseph Lewis had to convince the Breen Office that nothing really happened here. We know better. Don't we?!

According to her wiki page (I know 🙄) actress Jean Wallace (1923-1990) attempted suicide several times in real life. So, these scenes must have hit close to home.

With a film directed by Joseph Lewis, Cinematography done by the legendary John Alton and a score by the equally legendary David Raskin, a stylish noir is a given. And #TheBigCombo is (IMO) an essential noir.

Jean Wallace is sublime and so is the ending.

I am not at all a Cornel Wilde fan, but I do like Richard Conte. I think I tried to watch this once and couldn't get into it. But I'm giving it another chance this afternoon. #TCMParty #TheBigCombo
