He may not be the most ruthless in the noir cycle, but sicko gangster Eddie Roman in The Chase (1946), played by Steve Cochran, has been my favorite for a long time, mostly because he’s as charming and weird as he is psychopathic.

Who’s your favorite noir villain?

  Favorite villain? That’s easy: Dan Duryea in almost any film I will go with Criss Cross 1949 for that amazing final scene with DD, Lancaster and De Carlo. And of course Too Late for Tears 1949 with awesome villainy from DD and Lizabeth Scott who turned in a great performance but she said she did not like the viciousness of her character.

    How many times did DD slap a woman in a film?
