acsdoug D This is the first movie I've seen with Vittorio Gassman and he is an excellent actor. The story felt pretty contrived though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Excellent noir, great on location filming in NYC, especially subway shots, it has Gloria Graham, nuff said, very unrated, definitely entertaining and enjoyable with ??? Not going to spoil the ending Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie immediately pulls you in with the main character, as the underdog, whom you continually root for as he flees from the police. Along the way he makes some bad choices which end up complicating his quest to remain free. Then when things start to look more favorable for him, the screen writer chose to drag out the chase scene by having police officers running after him, the same officers he feared from the start. The only 2 people our main character trusts were running behind the officers out of his sight, and not once did they ever call out to him to relieve him of his fears. They chase him all the way to the top of a skyscraper where he perches on the ledge preparing to jump. This was the worst ending to any movie I've ever watched in 66 years. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it. Gassman - looking very much like a young Monty Clift - is superb and if you like nothing else, the authentic location shooting of it in 1953 NYC will keep any true noir fan VERY happy! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review deke p Never heard of this movie before. Kinda interesting. Chases around early 1950s NYC. About illegal immigrant from Hungary. I didn't know who GLORIA GRAHAME was (older than my father). And I barely knew VITTORIO GASSMAN. Saw this movie on late nite TV, 12.1.19. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an overlooked gem, with a noir feel. Great shots of Times Square in the mid 1950's. New York as an all-night city, filled with characters including a classic "masher", a cheap con artist, and two sketchy women with hearts of gold. This is a story of an undocumented immigrant, likely a Holocaust survivor, eluding a police manhunt while he searches for the only person who can prevent his deportation. Strong performances by Gloria Grahame and Vittorio Gassman. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
