#AlfredNewman's "StreetScene" was a favorite of 20thCenturyFox studio head #DarrylZanuck & appears in #IWakeUpScreaming 1941 & #CryoftheCity 1948 both starring #VictorMature - but the most elaborate & beautiful use of that theme is in the score of #WheretheSidewalkEnds 1950 starring #DanaAndrews

Street scene from the 1949 movie Cry of the City. A car drives down a busy New York street at night. Tall neon lights fill the background.

For clarification, I'm referring to this complicated shot. Wondering if a matte was used. #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity

Thank you, @celluloidsoul.bsky.social and @tcmparty.bsky.social
Here's a shot of #VictorMature as Lt. Candella on location in NYC. #CryoftheCity (1948)
Cheers!

Marty's Mama is better only because she's naive. Ma Jarrett was a shadow boss #CryofTheCity #WhiteHeat #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Thanks @eddiemuller.bsky.social, loved my first viewing of #CryOfTheCity, all your superb background, the storytelling with the 'two adult opposite magnets pulling Tony' and oh my, what a beyond terrific cast.
You're so right, it's one of Siodmak's best. And then some. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing! #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity #TCMParty

For those who want to revisit this week's #NoirAlley entry, there are actually several pretty high quality versions of #CryOfTheCity on YouTube. Fox must not have renewed the copyright. #TCMParty

So much happening in #CryOfTheCity. But no matter who the other players are, from beginning to end, it’s about Conte and Mature - the connection/conflict between Rome and Candella is always at the center.
The more I think about it the more I want to watch it again.

#TCMParty #NoirAlley

It’s such solid writing. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity

No kidding! Shelley Also Known As Shirley is quite the read. 👀 Shelley II is on my to-read list when I get a moment. #CryOfTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

WOW. That was a good one.
Until next week everyone - although #ChristmasInConnecticut is a classic that I want to see again so tonight (maybe).

I won't see you all until after Christmas. I'm vacationing in Switzerland to see my boyfriend. All my noir best to you.
#CryOfTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

That might be my favorite Victor Mature performance. #CryOfTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Well, I fell asleep...again. I'll have to watch this a third time. 🤷‍♂️
#CryOfTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

So many cop shows feature protagonists who seem to enjoy griping about sleazebags, dividing the world into goof guys and bad guys. Candella seems to feel the weight of his job, regretting the waste of lives. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity

Forget the Kevin Bacon 6 degrees of separation. The real center of the universe is the old Batman TV show.
> Winters – villainess Ma Parker
> Conte – “The Godfather” + Sonny’s wife (Sandra Corleone) was played by Julie Gregg – who I just saw as the Penguin’s Moll last night.

#CryOfTheCity was excellent. Welcome respite from the dogs of the past few weeks.
#NoirAlley #TCMParty

It was for the wrong reason, but it's nice that an actress from a well-done 1948 film noir is still with us in 2023 (at age 92). #CryOfTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

"After going on a date with John Ireland..."

Is there anyone in Hollywood that Shelley didn't go on a date with?
#CryOfTheCity #TCMParty #NoirAlley

This was really good stuff. So glad I tuned in. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity

What an ending. Those final moments...some great noir is .. #CryOfTheCity Every minute. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Appreciate the amount of Mature/Conte(nt) 🤌🏾 #CryofTheCity #NoirAlley #TCMParty

That's one hell of a final sequence and ending shot. All hail Robert Siodmak!
#CryOfTheCity #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Victor Mature looked like Christopher Noth in that last shot. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #CryOfTheCity

Brother Tony cries the #CryOfTheCity. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wow, what an ending with Tony. 😢
