1	* JerkassWoobie: Dixon is JerkAss with a HairTriggerTemper who doesn't hesitate to jump to violent solutions, but it's clear that he has trouble connecting with others, and faced the horrors of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, something that probably didn't have a very good effect on him, seeing that he hasn't had a successful film since before it began. By the end, he has driven away everybody.
2	* VindicatedByHistory: Similarly to other works by Creator/NicholasRay, the film was originally considered a box-office disappointment despite generally positive reviews, however, Ray's films had a revival in TheSeventies and Creator/HumphreyBogart's {{antihero}} persona gained a following in the 60's, from those points the film began to earn more accolades and now is considered as one of the best films of all time as well as one of Bogart's finest performances.
