Raw Deal is a fine noir thriller, a product of the dream marriage between Anthony Mann's direction and John Alton's camera.
Dennis O'Keefe's escape from jail is arranged by the racketeer (Raymond Burr) for whom he is serving a rap, and who confidently
expects him to be killed, thus shutting his mouth and eliminating the need to pay him off. Along for the ride is Trevor, who
loves him, and as hostage, the girl from the lawyer's office (Marsha Hunt) who has become interested in his case. The action is
sharp, the characterisation vivid (Burr gets to anticipate The Big Heat by hurling a bowl of flaming brandy over a girl who annoys
him; John Ireland is memorable as a cool hood who gets his kicks by needling the nervous Burr while patiently building card houses).
But what gives the film its wholly distinctive flavour is the voice-over narration by Claire Trevor. 'She's getting under his skin,'
she sadly comments as Hunt's initial flirtatiousness turns to disgust, thereby sparking a yearning in O'Keefe for his own lost
innocence; throughout, her despairing efforts to understand the romantic ramifications in which the three of them get caught lend
the film an unusual emotional depth.
