Review of Call Northside 777 (1948) by Patryk C — 24 Jul 2012

With its seemingly enthralling, and documentary-based script, Call Northside 777 is a pretty decent and eventful crime drama with an urban touch. James Stewart (in an interesting role) is drawn into an old murder case, and has to investigate whether all the facts are actually making sense.

Based on a true story, this movie presents a moving tale of the wrongly accused and their constant fight to prove their innocence, even when there aren't any trails that might lead onto a different suspect.

While it lacks in its storytelling and is sometimes rather slow, it still is a worthy position in the crime/noir genre.
