Review of The Naked City (1948) by Patryk C — 17 Sep 2012
Although narration in films doesn't seem necessarily appealing, in The Naked City it works surprisingly good. Some of the remarks are witty, some of them are laughable, and they all form a nice addition to this crime movie.
Two policemen desperate to solve a murder case, a few suspects that don't want to cooperate with the law, and a man who hides somewhere deep in New York, the one who is responsible for killing a beautiful model, thus starting the whole complex investigation process.
It's climatic, it's sombre, it's clever - and it all happens in the city that never sleeps. Very intense manhunt scene in the end only strengthens the experience. The Naked City proved to be a great inspiration for all the modern detective stories.
