Description
Like his contemporaries Howard Hawks and Billy Wilder, Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy) dabbled in many genres, but excelled within the film noir tradition. A Hitchcockian tale of mystery and intrigue, So Dark the Night used to be considered one of his finest pictures.
Inspector Cassin, a renowned Paris detective, departs to the country for a much-needed break. There he falls in love with the innkeeper s daughter, Nanette, who is already betrothed to a local farmer. At the evening in their engagement party, Nanette and the farmer both disappear. Cassin takes up the case instantly to discover what happened to them and who is responsible.
As together with his celebrated noir masterpieces My Name Is Julia Ross and The Big Combo, Lewis elevates the twisty, pulpy material with probably the most finest noir touches the genre has to provide, beautifully shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Burnett Guffey (Bonnie and Clyde).
