Gloria Grahame

The Big Heat, 1953

Directed by Fritz Lang

“ The most memorable violence in The Big Heat is the flinging of scalding hot coffee in Gloria Grahame’s face by Lee Marvin, and later (in a vendetta worthy of Kriemhild), in his face by her. Lang’s explosive Mise-en-scène implies that the world must be destroyed before it can be purified.”

— Film historian Andrew Sarris in “You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet.”: The American Talking Film History & Memory, 1927-1949.
