NIGHT & THE CITY (THE CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1950
• Genre: Film-Noir
• Plot: Two-bit hustler Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) aches for a life of ease and plenty. Trailed by an inglorious history of go-nowhere schemes, he stumbles upon a chance of a lifetime in the form of legendary wrestler Gregorius the Great (Stanislaus Zbyszko). But there is no easy money in this underworld of shifting alliances, bottomless graft, and pummeled flesh? and soon Fabian learns the horrible price of his ambition. Luminously shot in the streets of London, Jules Dassin'?s Night and the City is film noir of the first order and one of the director?'s crowning achievements.
