Just as horror films are filled with characters who never seem quite enough afraid, crime films are filled with protagonists who, at the end of the movie, never seem quite enough affected by what they have seen or unleashed. Not here. Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat (1953) follows the attempts of one cop, Steve Bannion (Glenn Ford), to clean up his department and city’s corruption. He does, but at a terrible cost. Join us for an appreciation of a noir that offers a world of moral black and white and a man who refuses to pretend there are shades of grey–until he finds himself with his hands around someone’s neck.
Fans of Fritz Lang will enjoy this collection of interviews with the director.
Follow us on X and Letterboxd–and let us know what you’d like us to watch! Incredible bumper music is usually by John Deley; this week, it’s from the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack. Also check out Dan’s new Substack site, Pages and Frames, for an essay about this film and more writing about books and films.
