(NOIR) The Big Steal - 1949 ***


I caught this film at my dad's last weekend and was desperate to see it. It has been on my list of noirs to see for ages. Jane Greer and Robert Mitchum team up again for a crazy journey through Mexico as Mitchum chases Greer's thieving fiance after being accused himself of theft. A slightly different noir owing to the fact that most of the action takes place on long car drives and outside in the sweltering heat (noirs are typically inside in the dark and centred around apartments, offices and drugstores) but captivating nonetheless. I enjoyed it and love William Bendix.
