Скачать или смотреть The Killer That Stalked New York aka Frightened City 1950 Film Noir 1080P - Evelyn Keyes Earl McEvoy

This Film Noir B-Movie will undoubtedly have relevance to a current-day audience, who might also find it poignant. Shot on location in New York City, in a semi-documentary style, it's directed by Earl McEvoy and stars Evelyn Keyes, Charles Korvin and William Bishop, with great street cinematography by Joseph F. Biroc.
It is based on the real threat of a smallpox epidemic in the city, as described in a story taken from a 1948 Cosmopolitan magazine article.[1]
I hope you enjoy this journey and chase through the dark streets and sub-culture of 1950s New York City, presented here in remastered HD...

Reception & Critical response
The New York Times film critic, Bosley Crowther, gave the film a mixed review, writing, "But, unfortunately, the script of Harry Essex, based on a factual magazine piece, has a bad tendency to ramble and to confuse two separate hunts. And the performances of the principal characters, while adequate, have little punch. Evelyn Keyes, as the fugitive smallpox carrier, manifests great discomfort and distress, but she is no more than a melodramatic cypher in a loosely organized 'chase.' William Bishop is blankly youthful as the physician and Charles Korvin is conventional as the lady's no-good husband who tries to give her the brush. Others are moderately effective in a potentially but not sufficiently intriguing film."[2]

Film critic Dennis Schwartz gave the film a mixed review as well and wrote, "There's not much in the way of thrills or surprises in this minor film noir ... The action part of the melodramatic story was weakly told, while the noir characterizations of Sheila did capture the desperate feelings of the subject but it was not enough to overcome the overall inability of the story to have a heart to it. The city officials and Dr. Wood running around the city to stem the epidemic, seemed hard to fathom. The mechanical acting by everyone, except for Keyes, and the unconvincing action scenes made the film appear as the B film it was, despite the great noir camerawork of Joseph Biroc who caught how dark the city could be for someone on-the-run."[3]

I added original subtitles for all the languages I could find, in this case, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Portuguese (Brazilian), Romanian, Serbian, Russian, Bulgarian, Hebrew, Hungarian, Turkish, and Bosnian, YouTube should automatically translate those into other languages quite well.
