6/10
Not great, but above average noir.

Well written. Well directed. Good story. Other than Mitchum; terrible acting. Overall, pretty decent noir film. Claude Rains also great for the whole five minutes he is in the movie. Must have owed the studio a film. Faith Domergur is excellent eye-candy but that's it. Typical Howard Hughes discovery/girl friend. I still recommend spending the 1:45 it takes to watch. Great location filming in Mojave Desert. Director Farrow is an often overlooked outstanding noir director. The Big Clock is one of his best. Mitchum great at this type of film. However, he doesn't play the stupid lovesick patsy quite as well as the hard-boiled or villain.
