A film noir landmark, The Big Combo returns in a stunning 70th anniversary 4K restoration--raw, brutal, and visually daring as ever.

 

A cornerstone of American film noir, The Big Combo remains one of the genre's most visually striking and uncompromising works. Directed by Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy), the film follows obsessive police lieutenant Leonard Diamond (Cornel Wilde) as he wages a personal crusade against the elusive and sadistic crime boss Mr. Brown (Richard Conte).

Driven by equal parts justice and desire, Diamond's pursuit draws him into the shadows of a corrupt city--and into the orbit of Brown's cool, haunted mistress, Susan Lowell (Jean Wallace, Wilde's real-life wife). As Diamond descends deeper, the line between duty and obsession blurs, culminating in one of noir's most chilling confrontations.

Celebrated for its bold cinematography by John Alton and its daring depiction of psychological and physical cruelty, The Big Combo shattered taboos of its time and influenced generations of filmmakers -- from Scorsese to Tarantino. Presented here in a stunning 4K restoration for its 70th anniversary, this is The Big Combo as it's never been seen before: raw, sensual, and remarkably modern.
