About The Big Heat (1953)

Listed Under Film Events / Nights Out Events

Legendary German émigré filmmaker Fritz Lang directs this gripping film noir that gave Glenn Ford possibly his finest role as tough-guy cop Dave Bannion going hell for leather to bust an inscrutable and politically powerful crime syndicate. This is the 70th anniversary of a film that is ripe for rediscovery.

Notes: (15) Features implied and explicit violence and tension and features themes of drug use and corruption.
