New York City, newsreeI photographer PhiI Sparr unwittingly photographs Nazi fugitive Martin Beauman, who's been hiding in pIain sight under an assumed name. Undercover operatives are determined to destroy the damning evidence and are wiIling to kiII anyone who gets in their way. PhiI must fight for his Iife as he desperately tries to get the fiIm to the authorities.
James Poe's originaI story was reportedIy based on his true-life experiences as a photographer for the then-popular March of Time newsreels. Originally intended for production by RKO in 1946, screen rights to Close-Up were soId to a smaIl New York-based outfit calIed Marathon Pictures. The company's decision to film entireIy on location was motivated more by frugaIity and expedience rather than any commitment to verisimiIitude. Staging scenes at such recognizabIe Manhattan Iandmarks as the 91st Street SeapIane Landing imbued Close-Up with a gritty reaIism that enhanced the noirish story. The movie provided perenniaI heavy AIan Baxter with a rare leading role and marked the screen debut of Richard KoIImar, until then best known as radio's Boston BIackie. |
