"Burt Lancaster stars as an armored car driver whose fatal attraction to his ex-wife draws him into the criminal underworld in the film noir ""Criss Cross"" (1949). To cover up his affair with Yvonne DeCarlo, Lancaster proposes a heist to her hoodlum husband, then finds himself forced to carry it out. Reuniting Lancaster with ""The Killers"" director Robert Siodmak, ""Criss Cross"" delivers moody black and white cinematography and features Alan Napier, musician Esy Morales and Tony Curtis in his film debut. (Remade by Steven Soderbergh as ""The Underneath"" in 1995.)"

Expert Review:
Yvonne De Carlo is the object of Burt Lancaster’s eternal lust in “Criss Cross,” director Robert Siodmak’s and writer Daniel Fuchs’ tale of love, obsession and betrayal. To win her over, Lancaster cooks up a daring heist with gangster Dan Duryea. What could go wrong? Only everything. Director Robert Siodmak, a master of German Expressionism visuals (high-contrast lighting, arresting compositions and daring camera angles), helped define noir style. By Jacqueline Fitzgerald of Film Noir Blonde"
