Post war scabs are picked off with noirish bleakness by Zinnerman and his terrific cast.

Act of Violence is directed by Fred Zinnemann and adapted for the screen by Robert L. Richards from a story by Collier Young. It stars Van Heflin, Robert Ryan, and Janet Leigh, with support coming from Mary More
