If you loved The Crimson Kimono, try They Live by Night

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Crime / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Crimson Kimono, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What They Live by Night is

Nicholas Ray took a stab at the fugitive-lovers-on-the-run genre early. After Bowie Bowers escapes prison, he connects with Keechie, and they fall in love while on the lam. The film noir effectively dramatized a sense of claustrophobia.
