Chicago Reader review:
Arguably
Stanley Kubrick's most perfectly conceived and executed film, this 1956
noirish thriller utilizes an intricate overlapping time structure to
depict the planning and execution of a plot to steal $2 million from a
racetrack. Adapted by Kubrick from Lionel White's Clean Break, with an
extraordinary gallery of B players: Sterling Hayden, Marie Windsor, J.C.
Flippen, Elisha Cook Jr., Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards, Ted de Corsia,
Joe Sawyer, and the unforgettable Timothy Carey. Orson Welles was so
taken with this film that after seeing it he declared Kubrick could do
no wrong; not to be missed.
