Like his contemporaries Howard Hawks and Billy WiIder, Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy) dabbled 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.
lnspector Cassin, a renowned Paris detective, departs to the country for a much-needed break. There he faIIs in love 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 immediateIy to discover what happened to them and who is responsible.
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, beautifully shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer (Bonnie and Clyde).
