Another classic noir film, I chose this as it once again featured Gene Tierney, who I had just watched in Laura and Where The Sidewalk Ends.
Tierney’s role here is strictly supporting the amazing Richard Widmark who just tears through scenery left and right as the perennial sad sack hustler, Harry Fabian.
Always scheming, betraying the ones he loves, including Tierney, Harry wouldn’t know a moral if he tripped over it.
Almost completely filmed at night in post-war London, Night and the City shows the underbelly of this epic city through stark shadows and hard edges; just like the characters it portrays.
If you love noir, this one’s a classic, and it’s streaming on Nexflix.
