Criss Cross

“When you Double-Cross a Double-Crosser... It's a Criss Cross!”

Why would an armored-car guard walk straight back to the ex-wife who left him? Steve Thompson (Burt Lancaster) does, and Slim Dundee (Dan Duryea), the gangster she married, catches them together. Robert Siodmak shoots Los Angeles at night, around the Bunker Hill neighborhood, as a story about a man who can't stop wanting the person who is bad for him.
