Cynical and bitter, fatalistic and presenting an archetypal hero of Film Noir in Mitchum's lead character, exhibiting masterful utilization of light and shadows, amplified by an extensive use of cigarette smoke, introducing an inescapably destructive femme fatale who attracts men to their demise like moths.
