Adapted from Gerald Kersh's classic crime novel, Night and the City is a consummate Film Noir classic which presents a fevered and paranoid vision of London by night - a city still shattered and skeletal from wartime bombing. Richard Widmark stars as Harry Fabian, a small-time spiv with big dreams who worms his way into the dangerous world of wrestling rackets, and who comes into conflict with a vengeful club owner (Francis Sullivan) and a tough gangster (Herbert Lom). Harry's long-suffering girlfriend (Gene Tierney) tries to save him - but can Harry outrun his fate? (British Film Institute (BFI))
