Notes on…

Night and the City(1950)

Dir. Directed by Jules Dassin

I knew it was coming this time, but the bit right near the end where Harry has the idea to try and ensure Mary receives the £1,000 reward for Harry himself is so dark. Anyway, does Richard Widmark's brash physical energy in this movie remind anyone else of Klaus Kinski?
