Abstract

This article discusses Force of Evil (Abraham Polonsky, 1948) through the analysis of some of its scenes with a focus on two aspects of the narrative: first, how a perspective from the Left on monopolies and capitalism is established in the film; second, the director’s view upon the intra-class divisions in the United States of the 1940s.
