Criss Cross (1949)

Second viewing.

A man is still in love with his ex-wife, but when he comes back to his hometown hoping to find her, she is hooked up with a criminal.

Very good criminal drama, which I didn't value enough on my first viewing, due in part to having seen it in a lousy, dubbed copy. A complex film, a veritable study on duplicity. Lancaster gives an impressive performance as the sucker.

Rating: 73 (up from 49)
