an absorbing film noir

Dana Andrews is great as the tortured anti-hero cop Dixon. His inner struggle to conserve the truth of his actions is so absorbing as the plot twists and turns. I didn't want the sidewalk to end.

Watch Laura and this in a double bill and you'll witness a brilliant trio at work. Otto Preminger + Dana Andrews + Gene Tierney = Gold!

Also of note, Karl Malden makes an ear... read more

Det. Sgt. Mark Dixon wants to be something his old man wasn't: a guy on the right side of the law. But Dixon's vicious nature will get the better of him. Dixon has previously had been in trouble with his superiors for his brutal methods. When he accidentaly kills a murder suspect, he knows his career will be over if he is discovered. He decides to dispose of the body and pin the murder on someone else. However, events get murkier when he falls for the dead man's wife and her father becomes the prime suspect for the murder. Dixon only finds redemption when he pays the ultimate price.

"Vanhoja jännäreitä tulee harmillisen usein katsottua tietyn ällÜttävän älyllisen etäisyyden takaa, pahemmin jännäämättä. Rotvallinlopun tiukka alkupuolisko tuo tähän virkistävän poikkeuksen. Kun viinanpaskan jo inan turmelema (sekä elokuvassa että elämässä) kovanyrkkinen kyttä Dana Andrews peittelee kaameaa virkavirhettään, tunnelma on kovin vangitseva. Premingerin WTSE on hienosti rytmitetty, Joseph LaShellen kuvaus tyylikästä, täynnä mieleenpainuvia ja aidonolois"

"As with many noirs, Where the Sidewalk Ends is concerned with neurotic males who express their torment and uncertainty through violence, which only intensifies their self-loathing. The New York City of the film is the city of most American noirs: an expressionist painting of neon lights, harshly bright, rain- and blood-splattered streets and alleyways, and ominously vertical buildings that the canted angles deliberately make to resemble cages. And this New York City is really the Any City of our"
