It’s a great scene; however, nobody should watch it...they should watch the entire film, which is a great movie!

Great movie.

Of historical note, this was the first Hollywood film to show footage of the Holocaust. (There is one scene they show it.) This was from the same footage that was used in the Nuremberg Trials.

This is what Orson Welles wrote about it:

No, you must not miss the newsreels. They make a point this week no man can miss: The war has strewn the world with corpses, none of them very nice to look at. The thought of death is never pretty but the newsreels testify to the fact of quite another sort of death, quite another level of decay. This is a putrefaction of the soul, a perfect spiritual garbage. For some years now we have been calling it Fascism. The stench is unendurable

I’ve given up on watching Noir films. For every decent one there’s 10 lousy ones. I have no time to waste on lousy films.

If Edward G. Robinson is in a movie, I will automatically watch it. No need to read the reviews first. Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis (and a few others) are also in that category.

Maybe it’s just me. But I can’t think of any of today’s actors who also belong in that group.

Like the checker-playing store owner.

Too bad Loretta Young’s character is such a twit.
