Edward H @TinTan 2d Big fan of noir, but the "action" keeps moving, ploddingly, from one claustrophobic set to another. The depiction of Italian immigrants is laughable. Victor Mature is excellent as the cop, bad apple Ricard Conte is convincing as the crafty crook. See more Russ G @RT78760655 Dec 12 A well-made crime drama and man hunt; whether the atmospherics qualify it as a genuine film noir is open to question. It stars Richard Conte, always reliable as a heavy. The interesting casting choice is Victor Mature as the pursuer. The story, characters, and pacing will hold your interest throughout the running time. Here's a little known film that's worth the watch. See more Makemake P @RT00271288 May 14 Captivating. Wonderful storytelling. See more Sam N @RT61650855 Mar 30 A compelling noir centred on a cop and a criminal who share a childhood background but have taken very different paths. Robert Siodmak directs with assurance, creating a moody, atmospheric piece full of tension. Victor Mature gives a more nuanced performance than usual, while Richard Conte strikes a perfect balance between charisma and menace. Shelley Winters makes a memorable mid-film appearance, stealing her scene with ease. The final speech from Mature feels slightly contrived, but that’s a small flaw in an otherwise well-crafted and gripping crime drama. Cry of the City is a fine example of the genre.
