剧情介绍
Cop Mark Dixon is already in trouble with his superiors for his brutal tactics when he accidentally kills a murder suspect. To protect himself, he decides to cover it up and pin the killing on a racketeer he hates and knows has committed many crimes like this in the past, Scalise.
Det. Sgt. Mark Dixon always wanted to be something his old man wasn't: a guy on the right side of the law. But for a good guy, he's awfully vicious. After several complaints over his roughing people up, his boss, Insp. Nicholas Foley, demotes him. Foley tells him he's a good man, but needs to get his head on straight and be more like Det. Lt. Thomas, who has just gotten a promotion. Meanwhile, Tommy Scalise has an illegal dice game going and is looking to make a sucker out of the rich Ted Morrison, who was brought in by Ken Paine and his beautiful wife Morgan. She figures out too late her husband is using her as a decoy. Paine strikes her when she refuses to play along. The chivalrous Morrison intervenes but Paine knocks him out cold. That seems to be the worst of it, but later it turns out the guy is dead; and Paine looks guilty. Soon Dixon has fallen in love with Morgan - but not before losing his temper again and committing a terrible deed that he tries to cover up. Morgan's father, a tale-spinning taxi driver, may take the rap for it. It's up to Dixon to try to pin the blame on Scalise.
片名为“人行道的尽头”，人行道的尽头是下水道和在污水中漂着的垃圾，主角几近加入其中直接粉笔写在人行道尽头的片名真是惊艳罗拉秘史导演和男女主
達納安德魯斯和吉恩蒂爾尼再續前緣
达纳·安德鲁斯确实更适合这种沉默、冷硬、受尽委屈后一脸倔强的角色，在沦落和底线上辗转挣扎，最后坚守道德的原则。结尾伟光正得令人心动！
警察误杀，这个故事比The Blue Dahlia等片大胆许多。感觉这部的shot reverse shot在Preminger的片子里算是很多的，特写放大了人物情绪和相互间的冲突。
结局差点意思但是Dana演这种antihero真的有魅力多了；这个译名真的毁所有
随机再补了一部Otto Preminger执导的老黑色电影，就是这个中文译名怎么看都跟原版片名毫无联系可言...不知道怎么翻译的。剧本很有趣：一个误杀了嫌疑人、脾气比较古怪且暴烈的差人如何一边自保、一边破案的故事。整个故事从结构到具体的叙事节奏把控以及演员的人物塑造都足够出彩(男女主刚好都是导演另一部黑色电影《罗拉秘史》的主演，在这部里又重逢了233)。此外，气氛营造和此类类型片的悬疑感也是本片做得较好的地方，就是结局居然如此正能量倒是我没想到的。完全可以再黑一点。这个结局，不知道的会不会以为是某种“特供结局”呢233...四星整。
除了人物关系要奇情之外，我觉得这片真的不错。
《致爱丽丝》如水倾泻，安德鲁斯搬运尸体。一小时处极其出色的细节：被斯卡利斯胖揍一顿的迪克申上门找泰勒，泰勒找到了他，并给了他酒，一杯酒下肚，泰勒才意识到要护住自己的腰襟，迪克森这时才意识到冒昧，便起身要走，知道其没有恶意的泰勒才放下戒备挽留之…有一帧和数十年后莱昂内玫瑰往事拍布鲁克林大桥那一幕一样。
刚开始就让男主陷入困境，剧作真是高明。上一次有这种感觉，还是《惊魂记》
3.5 剧本和调度的pace很稳，结尾稍逊。Dana Andrews气场还是太庸了【这个译名，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
老早的电影，小时候很喜欢
他想做一个“好警察”，但是没那个命，于是只能做一个受尽委屈的“好人”。
很好看很喜欢很有趣很精彩
男主纯爷们，绝对恪守自己的道德规尺，我知道如果避而不谈我可以名色双手，从此是英雄，但那对不起自己的良心，而对不起自己的事自己绝对不错。不愧是一直努力想走出父辈阴影的男人。好几处的构图太美了，主角们的房子都在大桥边上，夜景太漂亮了。问题就是剧情稍显老套， 而且节奏有点慢。
必须纠正的是，黑色电影的“黑”重点不在于情节或走向的阴暗难测，它真正的魅力在于人心的辗转，一种对人的意志的催化或消磨，结局光明与否不太重要。普雷明格似乎坚信，他的主角必将在持续的阴霾中重生，所以他拍瞬时的旦夕，也必将拍出永恒的脸庞(特写)。【1950十佳No.8】
