Directed by Jules Dassin, Night and the City (1950) is a superb example of Film Noir. The story concerns an American hustler in London, whose plans always seem to go wrong. Gene Tierney is stunningly beautiful, as always, in her role. Rumors suggest Gene Tierney was cast on the insistence of Darryl Zanuck, who felt she was suicidal and the work might cheer her up. Richard Widmark is great as the key character. Stanislaus Zbyszko appears as an aging wrestler.
