DVD Talk review of 'Thieves' Highway: Criterion Collection'
I read Bill Gibron's DVD review of Thieves' Highway: Criterion Collection at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=14343 and...
This is a VERY well-written review. I really enjoyed it. But...
kind of a crapload of spoilers, no? Your Final Thoughts section pretty much tells the entire conclusion to the film. That's going to be pretty disappointing to people who have never seen the film. I have, but I'm sure 90% of your readers haven't.

Yes, if one hasn't seen the film, do not read the review! I agree.... nicely written, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't point out that Nico's fiance is referred to as "Penny" in the review while her character's name is Polly".

Nice review, but I have to disagree. This is Dassin's worst IMHO. There was nothing compelling about this film.
While we're on the subject, since this and Night and the City got Criterions, I hope Brute Force and Naked City do too.

It is certainly time for Brute Force to be re-released. And with the price that the OOP version is selling for a Criterion would become a bargain priced release by comparison!
