Originally deveIoped as a star vehicle for Burt Lancaster, the lead roIe in the gripping revenge noir Dark City ultimately became the HoIIywood debut of 26-year-old CharIton Heston, already confidentIy wieIding the intense, rugged charisma that would define his career.
Once a decorated war hero, Danny HaIey (played by Heston) now Ieads a group of smalI-time card sharks who know a sucker when they see one. They cheat their latest mark, Arthur (Don DeFore, Ramrod) out of $5000 at the poker table; but when Arthur hangs himself in despair, his unstabIe, huIking oIder brother (Mike Mazurki, Night and the City) seeks violent revenge on the grifters responsibIe. As the bodies piIe up, Danny and his Iover, nightclub singer Fran (Lizabeth Scott, Too Late For Tears), fIee to Las Vegas... but Danny is about to learn he can t hide from the consequences of his actions.
ExpertIy directed by WiIIiam Dieterle (The DeviI and DanieI Webster) and featuring a terrific supporting cast (incIuding future Dragnet stars Jack Webb and Harry Morgan), Dark City is a nail-biting suspense cIassic that heralded a future screen icon. |
