You really have to admire the style of it. It had such an interesting and lovely direction to it. Dassin and the cast did a nice job with this one. 10 years 10 months ago -

Dassin was a really wonderful director - "Rififi" and "Night and the City" are favourites - so I've been looking forward to seeing more of his films; I think this one stands comparison with those greats, partly because of the stunning Oscar winning B&W cinematography - shot on the streets of New York City, in a semi-documentary style, and a great omniscient and sometimes witty narration by producer Mark Hellinger which guides us through one of the "eight million stories" of the city - the police investigation into the murder of a model. A stylish, fascinating and unique film noir. 11 years 3 months ago -

Agree with corchap. The narrator won't stop talking and he never really adds anything. 2 years 9 months ago
