Two-bit hustler Harry Fabian, unforgettably played by Richard Widmark, longs for the easy life with his latest get-rich-quick scheme. But there is no easy money for this sleazy ex-pat American. Luminously shot on the streets of London - so that director Jules Dassin could avoid the reach of the Hollywood blacklist - NIGHT AND THE CITY is filled with menacing shadows and ominous local atmosphere. It’s the epitome of noir style made at the peak of the classic period. Gene Tierney co-stars as Harry’s long-suffering girlfriend. With Googie Withers and Francis L. Sullivan.
