Conte is convincing as the maniacal hood, while Wilde is a good counter-balance to Conte.

Noir wasn't new in 1955, but The Big Combo still found plenty of life within its limits.

The Dissolve
Brilliant mix of genuine mystery, film noir, and creative visuals.

Classic Film and Television
It is done with grim melodramatics that are hard-hitting despite a rambling, not-too-credible plot, and is cut out to order for the meller fan who likes his action rough and raw.

Shadows and lies are the stars of The Big Combo, a spellbinding black-and-white chiaroscuro with the segmented texture of a spider's web.

Product Description:
Shocking cruelty and explosive performances by Wilde and Conte make this a favorite of film-noir cultists. The plot revolves around Wilde's determination to smash the rackets with the help of the gang boss' ex-girlfriend. As in this outing, director Lewis's deft use of low budgets made him a critical favorite.
