The Big Combo is a nervous, claustrophobic gangster picture directed by the always fascinating Joseph H. Lewis. Cornel Wilde is an honest 90-buck-per-week cop who runs afoul of mob boss Richard Conte. Failing to bribe Wilde into laying off, Conte has the cop beaten up by his thugs. Wilde persists, even daring to pay attention to Conte’s mistress Jean Wallace. Wilde eventually comes by the evidence he needs to bring the law down of Conte’s operation. The best scene in the film — indeed, one of the best sequences in all of film noir — is the murder of mob flunkey Brian Donlevy, whose assassins thoughtfully turn off his hearing aid before administering the fatal shots (the scene is played in utter silence!) The most interesting aspect of The Big Combo is that, while Richard Conte is despicable through and through, he behaves throughout as if he is being victimized, managing to stir up a tiny bit of audience sympathy in the process., Joseph H Lewis’ tough film noir stars Cornel Wilde as police lieutenant obsessed with imprisoning crime boss Richard Conte and moving in on Conte’s girl (Jean Wallace). Wilde eventually extracts a vital clue from Conte’s ex-wife who’s in an asylum but it is one that will lead him into mortal danger in Lewis’ tale where love and hate and good and evil are all mixed together., A stylish film noir about a police lieutenant who comes under pressure from a gang headed by a vicious thug. He is helped by the gangster’s wife, jealous at her husband’s affair with another woman, who supplies him with information to help him close the net on his foe., Stylish film noir about a police lieutenant who comes under pressure from a gang headed by a vicious thug.
