Film Description

Crime drama in which Chicago reporter P.J. O'Neal looks into a ten year-old case of a killed cop.

Based on a true story, Hathaway's classic film noir sees James Stewart give one of his most celebrated and powerful performances as the sceptical reporter who becomes obsessed with his fight for justice.

Review by Barry Forshaw on 7th February 2006

Henry Hathaway’s seminal crime movie is celebrated for its gritty, documentary feel – a quality that’s its easy to underestimate these days, when such techniques are commonplace. But such is Hathaway's quietly assured, undemonstrative skill that the film still exerts a powerful grip. Hathaway reconstructs a true story with a realism and attention to police procedure. Reporter P J McNeal (James Stewart) is asked to investigate the wrongful imprisonment of a man charged with the murder of a policeman 11 years. Stories of police corruption were new in the era of Call Northside 777, and it remains a cogent piece of work.
