In Fritz Lang's The Big Heat, Lee Marvin plays Vic Stone, a two-bit thug who works for crime boss Mike Lagana (Alexander Scourby). When the cops finger Vic for the murder of Det. Sgt. Dave Bannion's (Glenn Ford) wife (Jocelyn Brando), he thinks his 'skirt' Debby (Gloria Grahame) sold him down the river. When Vic confronts Debby, they argue and the altercation turns violent. Vic does something to alter Debby's beautiful looks. What does he do?

Maybe I should have bumped The Big Heat a bit further up the old wishlist, eh? :training:

It's possibly mine too, which is why this is such an annoying question!

I remember the scene, but I last saw it years ago. It was boiling liquid, coffee I think. If that is correct, we will continue in this category for 200.

In the film The Killing, Stewart Hayden and a group of crooks pull off a daytime heist. What kind of business do they rob?

In The Maltese Falcon, when Mary Astor is taken away by the police, Det. Tom Polhaus (Ward Bond) turns to Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart, who is holding the black falcon, and asks him what the statue is. Spade looks up, and in a melancholy fashion states that the statue is something specific. What does Spade call the statue?
