Beautiful film noir set first in New York city then in the New York state country side, it tells the story of a violent and lonely (played wonderfully by Robert Ryan) cop’s journey towards self discovery and redemption. The crime story only serves to support the more introspective, psychological, ‘man on a quest’ angle. Stunning cinematography.
