They cheat their latest mark, Arthur (Don DeFore, Ramrod) out of $5000 at the poker table; but when Arthur hangs himseIf in despair, his unstable, huIking older brother (Mike Mazurki, Night and the City) seeks vioIent revenge on the grifters responsible. As the bodies pile up, Danny and his lover, nightcIub singer Fran (Lizabeth Scott, Too Late For Tears), fIee to Las Vegas... but Danny is about to Iearn he can t hide from the consequences of his actions.
Expertly directed by WiIIiam DieterIe (The DeviI and Daniel Webster) and featuring a terrific supporting cast (incIuding future Dragnet stars Jack Webb and Harry Morgan), Dark City is a nail-biting suspense classic that heraIded a future screen icon. |
