Harry Fabian is a London hustler with ambitious plans that never work out. One day, when he encounters the most famous Greco-Roman wrestler in the world, Gregorius, at a London wrestling arena run by his son Kristo, he dreams up a scheme that he thinks will finally be his ticket to financial independence. As Fabian attempts to con everyone around him to get his scheme to work, he of course only ends up conning himself. This is an interesting tale of blind ambition, self-deception, broken dreams, and how a man who always thinks he's ahead of the game ends up tripping himself very badly.

Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Tom MilneInclined to go over the top, it all too clearly contains the seeds of Dassin's later -- and disastrous -- pretensions.
Scene-Stealers.com - 9/10 by Eric MelinOne of the best noirs around ... downward-spiral noir in its purest form, even if it trades the traditional urban landscape of the American city for the mean streets of London.
Creative Loafing - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonFew filled the role of the sweaty anti-hero better than Richard Widmark, and he's in notable form here.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Michael AtkinsonA moody piece of Wellesian chiaroscuro (shot by Max Greene, né Mutz Greenbaum) and an occasionally discomfiting underworld plunge.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffJules Dassin, in his direction, manages extraordinarily interesting backgrounds, realistically filmed to create a feeling both of suspense and mounting menace.
Chicago Reader - 4/10 by Dave KehrBefore he met Melina Mercouri and became an Artist, Jules Dassin made a number of worthwhile thrillers as a Hollywood contract director.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe story's only average but the characters are vivid and dynamic. Every character is so well-defined and fascinating. And it's a good ending.
User Review - 10/10 by Sitha IIt feels like a Shakespearean drama set in the London underground scene. Great story, wonderful cast, a must for any film noir fan.
User Review - 10/10 by Simon TBleak, bleaker, bleakest. You really really want Widmark to succeed even though he's a no good guy, mostly because he tries soo hard to be somebody instead of another anonymous bad apple in the barrel full of bad apples depicted in the movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Joel KDirector Jules Dassin was handed this assignment by Fox studio chief Darryl Zanuck, told to write the script ( whitout having read the novel ), Zanuck also insisted on him using actress Gene Tierney. He was concerned that personal problems had rendered the actress "suicidal," and hoped that work would improve her state of mind. Also Zanuck advised Dassin to "shoot the expensive scenes first, to hook the studio" so the film was finished and released in 1951. This job also came at a time when Dassin was being looked into by the House Un-American Activities Committee. With all the drama behind the scenes you might think the film would be a disaster, however it stands out as one of the finest examples of film noir ever produced. With an incredible performance by Richard Widmark as ex patriot Harry Fabian an ambitious hustler whose plans keep going wrong and damaging everyone around him.
