Watched the Criterion Channel version which is beautiful. Interesting that the film was originally a big-budget John Garfield film. Things changed, the cast of no names and the budget cut to nothing. A real treat. An anti-film noir. A dark damaged man find redemption after killing someone. Love this film.
