Il bacio della morte (1947) in streaming su altadefinizione Un povero diavolo finisce in carcere per rapina, le sue due figlie finiscono all'orfanotrofio. Per ottenere uno sconto di pena, collabora con la polizia, smascherando la banda che aveva coperto al momento dell'arresto. Ma uno degli ex complici sfugge alla cattura e cerca vendetta.
Un noir tesissimo, che Hathaway realizza con un occhio attento al realismo documentaristico (un po' alla Jules Dassin), utilizzando benissimo la colonna sonora e il cast. Esordio stupefacente di Widmark, doppiato da Paolo Stoppa. Grande Vicotor Mature, che evidentemente non era solo il fusto dei kolossal. Sceneggiatura di Ben Hecht e Charles Lederer.
