Shadows and lies are the stars of The Big Combo, a spellbinding black-and-white chiaroscuro with the segmented texture of a spider's web.

Description by OLDIES.com:

The Big Combo is a gripping gangster movie. Cornel Wilde is the tenacious cop determined to bring down a ruthless and sadistic mobster played by Richard Conte. Often overlooked, this movie is a fine example of the evocative film noir style that became so popular during the 40's and 50's. John Alton's stylistic photography creates an atmosphere of harsh gritty reality that draws the viewer into a sordid underworld of crime, greed and murder.
