Classic noir doesn't get any more classic than Fritz Lang's The Big Heat (1953), which pits wholesome detective Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) against snarly underboss Vince Stone (Lee Marvin). 

Gloria Grahame, as Stone's girlfriend, becomes a none-too-subtle metaphor for corruption when she encounters a pot of coffee.
