Nightfall

4 years, 9 months ago at Jul 19 13:53
Jacques Tourneur was one of cinema’s great second stringers. A director who could make the feeblest budgetary constraints outshine its big budget brethren through sheer force of style and atmosphere. He shined brightest when his films were their darkest – Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, Out of the Past. While Nightfall is not up to the level of any of those films, it is a sturdy little cri... read more

In rural Wyoming, James Vanning (Aldo Ray) aids stranded motorists John (Brian Keith) and Red (Rudy Bond). But after James finds out that the men just pulled off a huge bank heist, they try to kill him. When a harsh storm suddenly hits, the crooks lose their loot, and James manages to escape to Los Angeles, where he goes into hiding. He receives an unwelcome visit, however, from John and Red, who believe that James knows more about their lost money than he's letting on.

Nightfall

“Jacques Tourneur was one of cinema’s great second stringers. A director who could make the feeblest budgetary constraints outshine its big budget brethren through sheer force of style and atmosphere. He shined brightest when his films were their darkest – Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, Out of the Past. While Nightfall is not up to the level of any of those films, it is a sturdy little crime thriller that offers plenty of pleasures.   The problem isn’t that so much of the plot feels like it was rolled off the film noir conveyor belt, but that it’s main character never fully commits to his emotional downfall or flirtation with amorality.

"Pitkästä aikaa oikein nautittavaa Noiria. Jopa Tarantino(!)valmisteilla. Alku on hyvin vahvaa kuumoittelua puolin ja toisin, mutta valitettavasti lopussa sorrutaan b-filmin pellepainiin. Post Scriptum. Pelle paini on muuten ihan ok. Mutta harvemmin hyvässä noirissa. Tourneur olisi voinut hyvinkin jättää spedeilyt Comedy of terroriin, koska masterpiecehän se on vielä tänäkin päivänä."
