A beautiful new print of Jacques Tourneur’s rare, must-see noir about a man wanted for a murder he didn’t commit (Aldo Ray), who goes on the lam cross-country with a tough-talking dame (Anne Bancroft).

Notes

A beautiful new print of Tourneur’s rare, must-see noir, Nightfall stars Aldo Ray as a man wanted for a murder he didn’t commit. Running from both the police and two goons (Brian Keith and Rudy Bond), Ray takes up with a tough-talking dame (Anne Bancroft) and goes on the lam cross-country. Moving from the mean streets of L.A. to the wintry landscapes of Wyoming, Nightfall ricochets from set piece to brilliant set piece and offers so much great acting it’s hard to single anyone out. Terse, poetic and utterly gripping, Nightfall is “a magnificent noir! Beautifully shot and genuinely surprising” (New York Magazine).
