Affords the viewer a look at a type of city life that has long since disappeared, giving the film a kind of documentary time-capsule flavor.

What The Naked City does is paint an indelible vision of both the New York City that never sleeps and of the human life and industry that teems within it

This superlative film set the pattern for myriad documentary-type dramas to come.

It plays as just another crime episode in a typical homicide detective's day.

The narration is the only bad thing about an otherwise wonderful [film].
