The Story
A police lieutenant's obsession with a syndicate boss, and the boss's unhappy mistress, drives him to the edge.
Lt. Diamond is determined to topple the icy Mr. Brown, chasing a single tantalising clue, the name Alicia, that the gangster guards with torture and murder. Beaten, warned off, and falling for the woman at the heart of the case, Diamond keeps pushing toward a truth that powerful men will kill to bury. A brutal, shadow-drenched noir famous for some of the most striking black-and-white photography of the era.
