Rating: 4/5 -- List first the fact that Widmark, though he stands in danger of being typed as the screen's prime psychotic, does an excellent job (complete with chilling laughter). Full Review

This crackerjack melodrama about two buddies who vie for a dangerous dame is novel for its setting... -- Grade: B+

Widmark does his wicked best as the obsessed would-be lover, and waiting in the wings is the great Holm to gently out-act them all. Full Review

Product Description:

In this 1948 noir thriller starring Ida Lupino (THE MOONTIDE), a psychotic road house owner named Jefty (Richard Widmark) becomes murderously jealous when his mildly talented yet engagingly blunt lounge singer falls in love with his secret enemy (Cornel Wilde). The visually stark and hard-edged ROAD HOUSE is a squalidly rousing B-movie classic that essentially marks the beginning of humble moviemaking powerhouse Lupino--who would go on to become a multitasking writer, director, and producer and gain a game-changing autonomous power over her own career.
