Plot Summary

A Jewish man named Joseph Samuels (Sam Levene) is found brutally murdered in his Washington D.C. apartment. Police Captain Finlay (Robert Young) takes charge of the investigation, quickly focusing his attention on a group of soldiers recently returned from the Second World War. The prime suspect is Corporal Montgomery (Robert Ryan), a volatile, bigoted soldier whose barely concealed hatred of Jewish people points directly toward his guilt.

Sergeant Peter Keeley (Robert Mitchum), though not a suspect himself, works quietly alongside Finlay to uncover the truth and protect his friend Mitchell, who has gone missing. As the investigation unfolds, the film builds to a gripping confrontation between Finlay’s quiet determination and Montgomery’s simmering menace.

Robert Ryan’s portrayal of Montgomery is chillingly effective — one of the finest villain performances in film noir history. Gloria Grahame earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her brief but memorable role. The film itself was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Historical Significance

Crossfire (1947) holds a unique place in cinema history as one of Hollywood’s first major studio productions to tackle antisemitism head-on. Based on Richard Brooks’ novel The Brick Foxhole, the film courageously brought a difficult social message to mainstream audiences at a time when such content was considered commercially risky and artistically unusual.

The film was produced at the height of a politically charged moment in Hollywood. Director Edward Dmytryk would later be called before the House Un-American Activities Committee as one of the Hollywood Ten. His work on Crossfire nevertheless stands as a landmark achievement — a film that used the familiar grammar of film noir to deliver a profound moral argument.

This classic movie is also available in colour for international audiences.
