Crossfire Review
This is a message film over a noir thriller, but divided into many cinephiles in the noir category. The story unfolded shortly after WW11 in Washington D.C., as the soldiers of the Signal Corps uniform were drafted from the army and returned to human life. Brooks' novel dealt with the subject of ordinary people being killed by a soldier because he was a homosexual, but the Green office that worked as a Hollywood inspector would never approve of the subject. The filmmaker therefore committed a crime of bias against the Jew, which was a topic Hollywood tried to avoid but, perhaps, because of the Holocaust, was allowed to be screened by an inspector. Coincidentally, in the same year, another film, entitled “The Covenant of the Lord,” came to the fore, but it ended Jewish opposition to social justice. The B film is regarded as a test film and was priced at $ 5,000 and shot in 20 days, and spent most of its budget on star acting and was awarded the box office success and was taken with the most favorable reviews.
Robert Ryan was recently released from military service at sea. He had read Brooks' novel and loved the book so much that he asked Brooks, who is also at sea, to remember him as part of Monty if the book was ever made into a film. Brooks did just that when he was fired from the service and was hired as a screenwriter by RKO.
Four military allies - Hillbilly Leroy (Phipps), a former police officer in St. Louis. Louis Monty Montgomery (Robert Ryan), Floyd Bowers (Brodie), and former WPA singer Arthur Mitchell (Cooper) - visit a bar as they go. go. They started a conversation with Joseph Samuels (Levene) and his girlfriend, Miss Lewis (Dwyer). Mitchell feels depressed about being away from his wife and is drunk but replies to Samels that he is interested in what was bothering him. Mitchell was invited to Samuel's apartment to continue the discussion, after which Floyd and Montgomery followed and joined the group. Mitchell soon left because he was not feeling well and did not want to be with Floyd and Monty. Monty, who appears to be in a military khaki but has no military symbols, reacted angrily when asked to leave and beat Samuel to death as it appeared to be killing each other in the shade of the wall. The racist Jewish boy is used by Monty, who emphasizes that this is only hate crime.
Police, under the investigation of Captain Finlay (Robert Young), found Corporal Mitchell's wallet and accused him of the seemingly senseless murder. When they went to his military base they spoke to Sergeant Keeley (Mitchum-he goes with his insignificant part). Keeley tells Finlay that he knows what Mitchell is like and that the soldier has been indulging in drunkenness lately, but he is not a murderer. Keeley goes on to say that Mitchell is a gentle, musical man. Keeley decides to find Mitchell before police do. When he does, he listens to his story of drunkenness and what he did on the night of the murder. Keeley is convinced of Mitchell's innocence and tells him to wait for an all-night movie. Keeley later sends Mitchell's wife to meet him there. Mitchell tells her about going to a bar and meeting a girl, and the couple seem to forgive each other separately and get closer together again.
Crossfire becomes a film about anti-Semitism rather than a murder investigation, especially since there is no mystery of who killed. Finlay tries to explain the killer's bias by saying, "Hate is like a gun." He continues to give a historical lesson about apartheid in this country, in the way his Irish grandfather was tortured because he was a Catholic.
The text was old, the imitation was wooden by everyone except Ryan. Ryan was nominated for an Oscar, which is surprisingly the only time in his career. Gloria Grahame, also an Oscar nominee, plays a leading role as a dance hall girl, whose life is full of chaos but longing to be home. There’s not a single character who doesn’t talk about clichés, except Ryan. Paul Kelly had an interesting role as Graham’s divorced divorced husband, but there wasn’t much to do with the story so he didn’t add anything to it. Kelly's original role was evaluated by the Green office. He was supposed to be John's Graham, but that was very dangerous for the inspectors who did not want Grahame's part to be a prostitute. They see that it would not look good to see soldiers who are accustomed to prostitution.
The film is to be commended, to inform the public that anti-Semitism may be the subject of a hate film. Hollywood films have a history of non-participation and controversial titles and this B film did what other films did not do at the time.
It is interesting to see how the film offended Senator McCarthy and his witch hunters. They called three witnesses to the film in their HUAC, but released Ryan when they checked his military record. Coordinator Adrian Scott and director Edward Dmytryk were accused of being Communists and removed from the list of banned in Hollywood for failing to testify. They both spent time in prison and are known as part of the infamous Hollywood Ten.
J. Roy Hunt, a 70-year-old cinematographer, returning to the early days of Hollywood, shot the film using a low-key lighting style, providing dark images of Monty, comparing images like Mary Mitchell's ghosts. (Jacueline) as she travels with an angel to help her anxious husband Arthur.
The film's weakness lies in the performance of the psychotic Monty who is able to kill not only Samuel but his best friend Floyd, thereby minimizing the bias of the murder; it also means that zealots only emerge from the positions of the ignorant, the inferior, and the mentally handicapped. It also means that the killer is so crazy that he will never kill one of his kind, so the biased killer is really a psychopath. Under pressure from censors, filmmakers were not allowed to explore other depths of anti-Semitism.
It should, however, be noted that both Dmytryk and Paxton received Oscar nominations.
The fate seemed unsettled, as Monty was tricked by defender Leroy into falling into a police trap. Mzansi had to be mentioned for betraying Monty in a racist speech given to Finlay. When the imprisoned killer escaped from Finlay, a non-violent police officer was forced to shoot him in the street. What was even less known was that the free-spirited Keeley stepped out of the shooting with his arm around Leroy, telling him he had done well, as they walked down the dark streets of Washington in search of a place to have coffee. The inspectors demanded that it was not the intention of the Department of Defense to show that the soldiers were always drinking alcohol. Although filmmakers are being pressured by the Green office to fold their arms to make their film safer, it still shows the bias that exists in America and how serious the problem is.
