Short description

Police Lt. Leonard Diamond vies to bring a clever, well connected, and sadistic gangster to justice all the while obsessing over the gangster's girlfriend.

What's left behind the scenes

Most film noir movies feature musical compositions performed primarily with string instruments (orchestra), but "The Big Combo" is one of the few that uses brass instruments: trumpets and saxophone.
