Critic Reviews for Somewhere in the Night
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (1) | DVD (4)
Joseph L. Mankiewicz's nervous nightmare (made in his first year of directing) isn't an all-hallowed member of the noir canon -- it's fairly slick, and Mankiewicz has little or no existentialist cred. But it sings the school's black-hearted lament.
Out of this familiar premise, Mankiewicz has fashioned a classic film noir.
As a straight piece of melodramatic staging, this Twentieth Century-Fox film is all right.
It's a decent picture, though the auteur touches (the visual stiffness, the tendency to drag scenes out long after the dramatic point has been made) are largely negative.
An engrossing crime thriller.
...an engaging noir...
Audience Reviews for Somewhere in the Night
Good wronged man noir. Hodiak is solid if somewhat stolid but he possesses the proper gravitas for the lead. The plot is explained a little too much rather than acted out visually but still a good film with an excellent supporting cast.
Super Reviewer
Nice little bit of Film Noir.
Super Reviewer
There's good film noir and bad film noir. This is bad film noir.
