thanks rene, i've seen both films - really good music in
"odds against" too, by the modern jazz quartet i think?
there's a great scene where belafonte
(in a moment of personal crisis) does a sort of
breakdown/vibraphone freakout in a swanky niteclub. gotta
love a perfect-crime-gone-wrong noir film w/ a jazz
soundtrack.
i believe i read "big heat" years ago but it musn't have left
the impression
"rogue cop" has.
