Call Northside 777

1948 111 min NR Crime · Drama

It couldn't happen... but it did!

You're a reporter chasing a story about a convicted cop-killer. But nagging inconsistencies undermine your certainty. Hathaway shoots on location; bare winter Chicago chills the drama. The film leaves one pondering institutional will versus individual conscience.

Directed by Henry Hathaway · Written by Jay Dratler, Jerome Cady

Starring James Stewart, Richard Conte, Lee J. Cobb, Helen Walker, Betty Garde, Kasia Orzazewski
