Synopsis
The perfect crime goes awry. The problem? Human nature. The seemingly foolproof jewel heist requires the involvement of Doc Reimenschneider, a master criminal just out of prison, an itinerant hood named Dix, and their fence, the sleazy lawyer Alonzo Emmerich. The 1949 film, directed by John Huston, featured Sam Jaffe, Jean Hagen, and Marilyn Monroe.
