Customer Ratings & Reviews

On Dangerous Ground is an ideal film noir vehicle to showcase the talents of Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan. It is my favorite Lupino role.

If you have any interest at all in Nicholas Ray (REBEL W/OUT A CAUSE), Ida Lupino (ROAD HOUSE and a host of remarkable films she herself directed), Robert Ryan (THE WILD BUNCH, THE DIRTY DOZEN, and many, many others), or US film noir, pick this up. After decades of fair-to-poor transfers that didn’t do justice to its gorgeous B&W cinematography, this film finally gets its due. Scary, tragic, and deeply affecting, ODG demonstrates how sublime Ryan was at channeling postwar male anomie, and how focused Ray was on making viewers feel it—deeply. And Lupino? As remarkable a professional as any actor in her time, our time, or any other.

Mystery films with a twist you will enjoy this one from the beginning to the end.Did venture of a man trying to get from New York to California to be with his fiancé twist and Turns you’ll be on your edge of your seat till the end of the Film

Ida Lupino is always great. She lifts this strange, dark film to a new level. It becomes a gem of compassion and pain, one of the finest of the Film noir genre in my opinion. One not to miss.Acting by all of the principals, and most of the minor players, is very good.

I had never seen this movie. However, I found it to be very enjoyable. Once again, Warner Archive has done a great job with the transfer.
