1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: The film is considerably more well-known than the book. |
2 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: |
3 | ** Whit Sterling has a reasonable fanbase for being a charismatic, affable, and smart mob boss towards Jeff and his close ones. Being portrayed by Creator/KirkDouglas doesn't hurt either. |
4 | ** Jeff's second lover, Ann Miller can also be seen as one for being basically a benevolent counterpart to Kathie and genuinely loving and caring for Jeff and coming to his aid. |
5 | ** Jimmy the mute/deaf boy is beloved for being one of the sole characters to not have any dark, shady side to their personality. [[spoiler: and also for leading hitman Joe to a mountainous stream in the woods and coming to Jeff's rescue as he's about to be shot, by killing Joe.]] |
6 | * EvilIsCool: Again, Whit Sterling is an easy contender for this film for reasons listed under the darkhorse section. |
