Review of They Live by Night (1949) by Liam P — 31 Aug 2009
Hollywood debuts this confident, self assured and ambitious are rare. Nicholas Ray takes a relatively straight forward story and infuses it with inventive visual ideas that are far ahead of it's time.
Undoubtedly an influence on New Waves, both French and Hollywood.
