Product Description

Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there's crime, there's motive. But he finds no usual motive when investigating a man's death by beating. The man was killed because he was a Jew. "Hate," Finlay says, "is like a gun." Robert Young portrays Finlay, Robert Mitchum is a laconic army sergeant assisting in the investigation of G.I. suspects, and Robert Ryan plays a vicious bigot in a landmark film noir nominated for five Academy Awards , including Best Picture. Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet) directs, draping the genre's stylistic backdrops and flourishes around a topic rarely before explored in films: anti-Semitism in the U.S. Here, Hollywood takes aim at injustice...and catches bigotry in a Crossfire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!

This movie is a solid winner.
The subject is antisemitism and hatred of different ethnic groups.
"The Gentleman's Agreement" was released the same year, nominated for eight, and won three Oscars.
"Crossfire" in my view is the better movie, though it did not fair as well at the Oscars. It was nominated for five and had no wins.

4.0 out of 5 stars When Black and White was king.
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022
Verified Purchase
I had never seen this movie before, probably because it was filmed in Black and White, and except for a select few cable networks, they don't show black and white movies on TV any more. But I happen to enjoy black and white films since I was a child in the era of black and white TVs. This movie is a film noir murder mystery. Robert Young plays a jaded police detective who is investigating the murder of a man who was killed solely because he was Jewish. He snares a couple of suspects - an Army Sergeant played by Robert Mitchum and an officer, played by Robert Ryan. The film scored 5 Oscar nominations. I enjoyed the movie very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars The WB Blu-ray's video quality
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2023

This isn't a review of the movie itself, since if you've made it here presumably you like it. Sometimes these older movies don't drastically improve when going from DVD to Blu-ray. In this case, the Blu-ray is a significant improvement over an already solid WB Archive DVD I own. The clarity, the shadows and the depth of the this picture are as good as some 4K black & whites I have. If you love these old flicks like I do, then grab this and never look back!

5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomy of a Hate Crime - Long Before the Term Was Coined
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2005
Verified Purchase
Movie: ***** DVD Transfer: *** Extras: ***1/2

Director Edward Dmytryk's stark, hard-hitting examination of a hate crime was way ahead of its time in 1947, and has lost neither its topicality nor its punch in the years since. Based on a Richard Brooks novel ("The Brick Foxhole") about the senseless murder of a gay man, the script dropped the book's sub-theme of homophobia to focus on the more cinematically "acceptable" topic of anti-Semitism. Despite this concession to the Production Code, what emerged was a mature, pungent indictment of all crimes motivated by discrimination and blind hated that was nominated for five Oscars: Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor (Robert Ryan), and Supporting Actress (Gloria Grahame). Also deserving award consideration were top-billed Robert Young (arguably giving the best performance of his decades-long career as a taciturn police detective) and supporting actor Robert Mitchum, as well as J. Roy Hunt's masterful black and white cinematography.

The Warner Brothers DVD release of this classic film noir is, in all honesty, a major disappointment, mainly because the film-to-video transfer is not up to their usual high standard of quality. There is very distracting jump in one of the earlier scenes, apparently caused by a break in the film which was subsequently spliced together by an amateur; one or two scenes are unacceptably grainy; and there is a flurry of horizontal visual "snow" toward the end of the movie. Surely such a key title deserved a little restorative work before being transferred to DVD! (That's a statement, not a question.) Furthermore, the DVD does not include a Theatrical Trailer; however, it does contain a very informative snippet from an interview shown on TCM featuring director Dmytryk reminiscing about the film's production. There is also an audio commentary by film noir authorities James Ursini and Alain Silver. Overall, despite the inadequacies in the master print, "Crossfire" remains a must-see film, and therefore this DVD edition is definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant movie - well ahead of its time.
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2007

This film will surprise you, and make you say "darn, why haven't I heard of this film before." You look at the cover and expect a powerful screen stealing performance from Robert Mitchum, but what you get is a good murder mystery film attacking bigotry and hatred. Robert Young - playing the effective police detective - turns in as fine of a performance as you could ask for. Robert Mitchum does well, but he isn't the movie. Instead, the movie is a sum of all its characters, founded in its message in post-war America. Before it was fashionable to go after the mongers of hate, RKO bravely put out a film that did just that. The film keeps you guessing about who the murderer is for most of its length. And the dialogue is well written. For example, Robert Young as the detective explains to Robert Mitchum why it took him so long to figure out who the murderer was. He goes on to say that he was looking for folks with all the obvious motives to kill, but that, when he looked past that, the murderer's identity become obvious. I definitely recommend this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Blu-Ray Looks Fantastic!

A very good noir film with three great "Roberts": Robert Ryan, Robert Mitchum, and Robert Young. Gloria Grahame is also included, and adds her typical unique touch to proceedings. Very happy I bought the blu-ray, which plays fine on my standard U.S. blu-ray player.

Regarding Amazon's playback warning: I've no idea what the deal is in terms of the DVD Region 1 coding not playing on U.S. blu-ray/DVD players, as our regional coding for DVDs is indeed Region 1. ??? (It's Region A for blu-rays.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A TOP CLASS CRIME DRAMA, THAT STILL, SADLY, RESONATES TODAY.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a review of the Universal “Cinema Classics’ standard Region 2 DVD. The print quality of other films from this collection has been superb, this one was less so. Having said that, the print and the sound are both clear, completely watchable and enjoyable; they are just not as crystal sharp and perfect as others from this stable.

‘Crossfire’ is a very interesting film, on a theme of prejudice and hatred of ‘other’, that is still, sadly, all too relevant today. It resonates as loudly and clearly in 2018, as it did when the film was made back in 1947. Interestingly, the hatred displayed in the film is anti-Semitism, but the original novel from which the screenplay was drawn, dealt with the murder of a homosexual man. In either case, we have come less far in 70 years than many of us might have hoped.

The film is usually classed as a ‘Noir’, and there is a lot of night-time activity, and a great performance from that professional ‘Floozie’ Gloria Grahame. However, this is more of a crime drama, with an excellent performance from Robert Young as a rather world-weary but compassionate policeman, who patiently investigates the crimes committed, alongside Army Sergeant Robert Mitchum, at his relaxed best. One of the interesting aspects of the film is that the 'who-dunnit' aspect of the mystery is quite slight, but the real thrust of the story is to explore the various characters who become involved. They are all well-drawn and authentic, particularly Robert Ryan, as the hard man and bigot.

‘Crossfire’ was actually produced as a ‘B’ movie, but made Hollywood history by garnering an Oscar nomination for ‘Best Picture’, despite this. Ryan and Grahame were nominated for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ and ‘Best Supporting Actress’, and it was also nominated for 2 others including ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’. This gives some idea of the film’s power and quality. It is a really top class drama, with an ensemble of top class performances. I would rate it as a ‘must see’.
