Two-bit hustler Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) longs for "a life of ease and pIenty." TraiIed by an inglorious history of go-nowhere schemes, he tries to hatch a Iucrative pIan with a famous wrestler. But there is no easy money in this underworld of shifting alIiances, bottomless graft, and pummeIed flesh-and Fabian soon learns the horrible price of his ambition. Luminously shot in the streets of London whiIe HoIlywood blacklisters back home were cIosing in on director Jules Dassin Night and the City, also starring Gene Tierney, is fiIm noir of the first order, and one of Dassin's crowning achievements. |
