Peter Butterworth Thug as Thug uncredited. Jules Dassin. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Harry Fabian is a London hustler with ambitious plans that never work out.
One day, when he encounters the most famous Greco-Roman wrestler in the world, Gregorius, at a London wrestling arena run by his son Kristo, he dreams up a scheme that he thinks will finally be his ticket to financial independence. As Fabian attempts to con everyone around him to get his scheme to work, he of course only ends up conning himself.
This is an interesting tale of blind ambition, self-deception, broken dreams, and how a man who always thinks he's ahead of the game ends up tripping himself very badly. The inside story of London after dark. Not Rated. Did you know Edit. Trivia Director Jules Dassin made the film while in the process of being blacklisted.
Fox studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck told him it may be the last film he'd ever direct, so he should shoot the most expensive scenes first so the studio wouldn't be able to blacklist him until it was completed. Goofs As Harry is being chased through the streets of London at night, he runs down a set of stairs, then turns and runs down a lit street.
In the foreground the cameraman and director's shadows are clearly outlined against the street. Quotes Adam Dunne : Harry is an artist without an art. Some examples are: a differing voice-over speech; some changed dialogue; the opening scene where Harry returns home after 3 days away is a different take and the nightclub scenes are longer in the British version.
The scores of the two films are also entirely different and alternate shots are used at the ending in the British version. User reviews Review. Top review. Noir masterpiece. This gritty film, exposing the world of small time crooks in London, is a real masterpiece of film noir. The director, Jules Dassin, has captured this dark, dirty world perfectly and the black and white cinematography is superb. Francis Sullivan as Phil is great as the nightclub owner for whom Widmark shills and Googie Withers, one of my favorites of British film, is awesome as the unfaithful wife.
Gene Tierney is wasted as Widmark's girlfriend Other support players are strong and you get to see Herbert Lom without his toupee! This is one of the best in the film noir genre and the ending pulls no punches.
This is not a happy, feel good film. Highly recommended. Bucs Nov 24, Details Edit. Release date June 28, Canada. United Kingdom United States. Noc i grad. Twentieth Century-Fox Productions.
