Film Description
'There are eight million stories in the Naked City, and this has been just one of them' says the narrator at the close of this breathtakingly vivid film in which, one sweltering New York night, two men subdue and murder an ex-model.
When one of the murderers, conscience-stricken, gets drunk, the other kills him and hoists his body into the East River. Assigned to the case are Barry Fitzgerald’s veteran Homicide Detective Lt. Dan Muldoon and his rookie associate, Jimmy Halloran. This dazzling police procedural from Dassin and newspaperman-cum-producer Mark Hellinger was shot entirely on location in New York. As influenced by Italian neorealism as American crime fiction, this double Oscar-winner (for cinematography and editing) remains a benchmark for naturalism in film noir.
