I have to say, though, that while I like Straithairn, I don't find that he has that much range. And my rewatch of the '47 version of the film convinces me that Ian Keith gave a noticeably superior performance as Pete: HE should've been nominated for an Oscar! (BTW, the '48 Oscars--for the '47 films--had three supporting actor nominees from noirs: can you name 'em all without looking it up?)
