Where the Sidewalk Ends
A superb film noir featuring hardboiled dialogue, two superb leads and no small amount of tension.

Preminger reunited with his Laura stars for a more cynical and grittier film noir. Andrews plays a troubled NYPD detective, who meets Tierney’s character as she becomes embroiled in his investigation. When an interrogation goes awry, the detective makes a decision that sets him on a path of subterfuge and manipulation. Shot on the streets of New York, this classic thriller captures the city in all its tawdry complexity.
