Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesDirector Jules Dassin made the film while in the process of being blacklisted. Fox studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck told him it could possibly be the last film he'd ever direct, so he should shoot the most expensive scenes first so the studio wouldn't be able to blacklist him until it was completed.
- PatzerAs Harry is being chased through the streets of London at night, he runs down a set of stairs, then turns and runs down a lit street. In the foreground, the cameraman and director's shadows are clearly outlined against the street.
- Zitate
Opening voice-over: Night and the city. The night is tonight, tomorrow night... or any night. The city is London.
- Alternative VersionenThere are two versions of this film: the British release and the International/American release. Some examples are: a differing voice-over speech; some changed dialogue; the opening scene where Harry returns home after 3 days away is a different take and the nightclub scenes are longer in the British version. The scores of the two films are also entirely different and alternate shots are used at the ending in the British version.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Every where Richard Widmark's loser character Harry Fabian turns in this film he finds golden opportunities smothered in bad timing. Widmark utilizes a variation of that smarmy, snickering sinister giggle-chuckle that was memorialized in Kiss of Death.It serves the actor well in this film in its toned-down form but offers up a sort of pathetic body language for Fabian, the character. It may be that this American ex-patriot character is just way out of his depth. His hucksterism is not much appreciated by many of his acquaintances in this seedy London underworld. If Harry Fabian would simply accept that he is destined to be a 3rd rate shill and stooge,he might have fund some small pleasures. However, his mind is a shade too quick and his ambition too pumped. He's a user with not a shread of remorse about stepping on others, ripping them off, keeping one tiny step ahead of exposure. This is a superb film, squalid and sinister in its portrayal of greed, corruption and betrayal.
