built 278 days ago
IN THE 1947 FILM Crossfire, a young Robert Mitchum plays Sgt. Pete Kiely. Cooling his heels after the war, Kiely toils in the peacetime Army, in some sort of bureaucratic position that he refuses to dignify with a description. Mitchum shares several powerful scenes with that underrated actor Robert Young, who plays Capt. Finlay, a police detective cracking a murder that happens Friday night and is wrapped up before Monday dawns.
