Fritz Lang’s, classic detective movie, The Big Heat, is a not only a film treasure but also a clever and engaging detective movie. The bad guys are tough, the women are tough, but the cops are even tougher. Canadian Glenn Ford stars, and look for a young Lee Marvin in one of his early roles as mob toughie, Vince Stone. This classic film noir is made in glorious black-and-white.
