Review of 99 River Street (1953) by Stella D — 03 Oct 2009
A terrific overlooked noir, likely the best film of director phil karlson's career. john payne plays a washed up fighter who's constantly reliving his lost shot at the title, struggling as a cabdriver with a dissatisfied wife.
what is it with boxers and noir? needless to say, he gets mixed up in a dangerous game, giving him one last shot at redemption. I don't wanna give too much away. everyone is great here, especially evelyn keyes as a standup dame trying to help him out of the jam.
check it out.
