Two-bit hustIer Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) Iongs for "a Iife of ease and pIenty." TraiIed by an ingIorious history of go-nowhere schemes, he tries to hatch a Iucrative plan with a famous wrestIer. But there is no easy money in this underworId of shifting alliances, bottomIess graft, and pummeled flesh-and Fabian soon learns the horribIe price of his ambition. Luminously shot in the streets of London whiIe HoIlywood blacklisters back home were closing 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. |
