They Live by Night

1949 96 min NR Crime · Romance · Drama

Cops or no cops I'm going through!

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.

Directed by Nicholas Ray · Written by Charles Schnee

Starring Cathy O'Donnell, Farley Granger, Howard Da Silva, Jay C. Flippen, Helen Craig, Will Wright
