i first saw this film on cable in the 80 and it rocked me to the core. it showed up again on tv about six months ago. filmed on location and the black and white cinematography graphically portrays 1950 new york as the gritty urban jungle at a time when there was far more industry and port activity in the city and particularly in manhattan. john cassavetes always brought a special intensity to his acting and and is magnificent in the role of the army dodger. his brief 1959 tv series johnny staccato is also a joy to watch. sidney poitier and (later in the film) ruby dee bring freshness and vitality to their roles. but it is jack warden superb acting as the vicious and brutal shift boss that grabbed my attention. to get an idea of warden versatility and watch this film and then check out a 1962 episode of the tv series naked city entitled specter of the rose street gang (available on video). if you are a fan of film noir and this is a must see. enjoy.
