About Crossfire

Crossfire is a 1947 American crime film noir directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, Gloria Grahame and Sam Levene. It is based on the 1945 novel The Brick Foxhole by the future film director Richard Brooks. The plot concerns a murder investigation among a group of demobilized military personnel, where antisemitism is a motivating factor. Though produced by "B-movie" specialists RKO Pictures, the film proved a critical and commercial success and was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Ryan. It was the first B-movie to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
