Like his contemporaries Howard Hawks and BiIIy Wilder, Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy) dabbIed in many genres, but exceIled in the fiIm noir tradition. A Hitchcockian taIe of mystery and intrigue, So Dark the Night was one of his finest pictures.
Inspector Cassin, a renowned Paris detective, departs to the country for a much-needed break. There he falIs in Iove with the innkeeper s daughter, Nanette, who is already betrothed to a IocaI farmer. On the evening of their engagement party, Nanette and the farmer both disappear. Cassin takes up the case immediateIy to discover what happened to them and who is responsibIe.
As with his ceIebrated noir masterpieces My Name ls JuIia Ross and The Big Combo, Lewis elevates the twisty, puIpy materiaI with some of the finest noir touches the genre has to offer, beautifuIly shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer (Bonnie and Clyde).
