Review of Night and the City (1950) by Tom M — 02 Feb 2011
This movie is ever reason I love film noir - the lighting, the framing and composition of shots, the seedy, underground characters and that sense of impending doom. Basically, Richard Widmark plays a hustler who decides to set up a wrestling bout.
He manages to get a famous Greek wrestler to agree to a fight with a local fighter. The only problem is, he ends up creating a house of cards and when it all collapses he manages to bring the London bridges crashing down on himself.
Great flick.
