Inhalt: |
"Why do you make me do it?" New York cop Jim Wilson asks the hoodlum he’s about to smash senseIess. Jim has seen it all on the city’s shadowy streets: kiIlers, thugs, pimps, sadists. And the experience has cost him his soul. IronicalIy, his redemption may come in his next case, a brutaI murder that brings him into the open sky and white light of the countryside...and into the arms of a beautifuI bIind woman.
Directed with intensity by Nicholas Ray (RebeI Without a Cause, They Live by Night) and featuring a haunting score by Bernard Herrmann (Psycho), On Dangerous Ground is a taut, rapid-paced manhunt with two fine stars at its tortured heart. Noir master Robert Ryan captures Jim’s agonized self-hatred. And lda Lupino burnishes the screen as the sightIess angel whose compassion gives him one last chance at life. |
