Summary

"There are eight million stories in the Naked City," as the narrator immortally states at the close of this breathtakingly vivid film, and this is one of them. Master noir craftsman Jules Dassin and newspaperman-cum-producer Mark Hellinger's dazzling police procedural was shot entirely on location in New York. Influenced as much by Italian neorealism as it is by American crime fiction, this double Academy Award winner remains a benchmark for naturalism in noir"-Container
