Popular reviews. 469 likes. 436 likes. While watching Fritz Lang's The Big Heat, I realized a lot of cool aspects about what makes it such a special film-noir. Glenn Ford is insane as a cop out for revenge. Gloria Grahame is in most ways a femme fatale, yet she's not poison to Glenn Ford. Lee Marvin is running around throwing coffee on dames.
