Horse Shit , this is a great film, its not very noir but is an excellent crime film in period NYC, my biggest complaint is Barry Fitzgerald's accent .
What's your problem with Fitzgerald's accent? That's his real accent. I've always liked him; it's a shame he was wasted here in such a shitty movie
How could my opinion change so drastically from one viewing to the next?
I agree about Naked Alibi, unfortunately a wasted opportunity. The Naked City makes a good double bill with Pickup on South Street, probably one of the best examples of a real-looking "fabricated city".
