Movie Reviews of Criss Cross (Universal Noir Collection)
Movie Review: Good film Noir ! Burt Lancaster plays a sap in this one
Summary: 4 Stars
Ever fall in love with a girl that no one likes ? Well here is one movie that has that situation is it. Burt is love sick in this, despite his family and a friend who is a cop to stay away from her. He should have. Anyway, I really like this movie. Burt Lancaster plays a sap for Lily Munster, well Yvonne De Carlo who cant stay away from her,& wants to give her everything.. He loves her and she is a femme fatele who is married to a crook named Slim (Dan Duryea) They plan to steal a ton of money from an armored truck which of course backfires with double crossing.(I wont spoil anything with the double cross or the shocking ending) This was a good noir,strong story and acting performances were all top notch here. Your basic Noir with Gangsters back in the golden age. A good classic worth checking out.
Summary of Criss Cross (Universal Noir Collection)
An armored-car guard must join a robbery after being caught with his ex-wife by her gangster husband. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 07/06/2004 Starring: Stephen Mcnally Griff Barnett Run time: 87 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Robert SiodmakA certified film noir classic, Criss Cross embraces the genre's darkness with an uncompromising tale of doomed lovers and multilayered betrayal. Reuniting with director Robert Siodmak after their success with The Killers, Burt Lancaster plays a love-struck loser who seals his fate when he returns to Los Angeles to find his ex-wife (Yvonne DeCarlo) eager to rekindle their love against all better judgment. She encourages their torrid affair but marries a mobster (Dan Duryea); to deflect suspicion, Lancaster lures Duryea into an armored-truck robbery, creating a vortex of greed and passion from which he cannot escape. Featuring the brief screen debut of Tony Curtis, Criss Cross is a stylish masterpiece of clashing fates and fatal attractions; Franz Planer's cinematography creates a shadow world in which every desire is tainted by the threat of violence, and Miklos Rozsa's score underlines a love story that could never end happily. Film noir doesn't get any bleaker--or better--than this. --Jeff Shannon
