This crackerjack melodrama about two buddies who vie for a dangerous dame is novel for its setting... -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
List first the fact that Widmark, though he stands in danger of being typed as the screen's prime psychotic, does an excellent job (complete with chilling laughter).

New York Times
Widmark does his wicked best as the obsessed would-be lover, and waiting in the wings is the great Holm to gently out-act them all.

A minor classic of forties film noir with major pleasures, Road House is an unusual, and unusually fascinating, variation on the genre.

What makes it different is Ida Lupino's incarnation of the torch singer Lily: a singular instance of Hollywood trying to imagine an autonomous adult woman.

The New York Review of Books
Framed within a realistically intimate roadhouse setting, yarn reconstructs the triangle with an arrestingly psychotic twist supplied by Richard Widmark.

Variety
This lurid 1948 melodrama by Jean Negulesco has built up a considerable underground reputation.

Product Description:
In this 1948 noir thriller starring Ida Lupino (THE MOONTIDE), a psychotic road house owner named Jefty (Richard Widmark) becomes murderously jealous when his mildly talented yet engagingly blunt lounge singer falls in love with his secret enemy (Cornel Wilde). The visually stark and hard-edged ROAD HOUSE is a squalidly rousing B-movie classic that essentially marks the beginning of humble moviemaking powerhouse Lupino--who would go on to become a multitasking writer, director, and producer and gain a game-changing autonomous power over her own career.
