Above-Average Noir Piece: The City That Never Sleeps
28 October 2018
An underrated little noir gem is The City That Never Sleeps. Gig Young, of "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" fame is the lead in this solid noir piece with lots of moving parts; just like the robot man in the window. This story of a bored cop who wants out of the force and his marriage is a perfect character for this dark tale, along with other well-formulated characters (my favorite is the magician). A sleazy businessman is going to be blackmailed, and there are a few surprises along the way. Good, sound, noir and recommended.
