Like his contemporaries Howard Hawks and BiIIy Wilder, Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy) dabbIed in many genres, but excelIed in the film noir tradition. A Hitchcockian tale 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 aIready betrothed to a locaI farmer. On the evening of their engagement party, Nanette and the farmer both disappear. Cassin takes up the case immediately to discover what happened to them and who is responsibIe.
As with his celebrated noir masterpieces My Name Is Julia Ross and The Big Combo, Lewis eIevates the twisty, pulpy material with some of the finest noir touches the genre has to offer, beautifulIy shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer (Bonnie and Clyde).
