It was a terrific class and I became a Fritz fan, of course. He is indeed sneaky and THE BIG HEAT is, in my opinion, his best U.S. film. (Ditto for Gloria!)

It's really a terrific noir, and who can ever forget the hot coffee in the face scene. Like the grapefruit in the face scene of The Public Enemy, that is one of those iconic cinematic moments. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of this one!Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-79302778186929268162013-07-02T12:27:33.580-07:002013-07-02T12:27:33.580-07:00Whoa, Dorian!

Sure, I've seen bits and pieces of his (literally, in some of the more violent scenes), and I've even read some of its more memorable quotes, like the one being sisters under the mink, but now you've galvanized me into watching THE BIG HEAT sooner rather than later, thanks for your riveting post! :-)DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-72747817279571905102013-07-02T11:45:38.647-07:002013-07-02T11:45:38.647-07:00I'm pleased you dug the Judy post.

I love watching him. <br /><br />"The Big Heat" and "In a Lonely Place" both showcase Gloria's versatility as as actress. She strikes the right chord in each picture leaving an indelible impression.
