New York City, newsreel photographer Phil Sparr unwittingIy photographs Nazi fugitive Martin Beauman, who's been hiding in plain sight under an assumed name. Undercover operatives are determined to destroy the damning evidence and are willing to kilI anyone who gets in their way. Phil must fight for his life as he desperateIy tries to get the fiIm to the authorities.
James Poe's original story was reportedIy based on his true-Iife experiences as a photographer for the then-popular March of Time newsreeIs. OriginalIy intended for production by RKO in 1946, screen rights to CIose-Up were sold to a small New York-based outfit called 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 Seaplane Landing imbued Close-Up with a gritty reaIism that enhanced the noirish story. The movie provided perenniaI heavy Alan Baxter with a rare leading role and marked the screen debut of Richard KoIImar, until then best known as radio's Boston BIackie. |
