Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMartin Scorsese was originally set to direct, but dropped out. In fact, it was Scorsese who recruited screenwriter Richard Price to write a draft. According to an interview with Neal Gabler, Price said, "He (Scorsese) felt like he had already 'done' (Night in the City) in all his other films. There was no challenge for him." It would be another six years before producer and director Irwin Winkler and Robert De Niro became interested in making the film.

Some Good Acting
There is some good acting in Night and the City, but the movie overall is unremarkable.
I picked this movie up at the video store last week, only because Robert De Niro is in it. I have to admit, even though I see a lot of movies, I don't think I had heard of this movie until I picked it up that evening, even though I had probably skimmed across the cover on the box while browsing at the video store.
I found this movie pretty hard to watch, mainly because De Niro's character Harry Fabian is not very likeable and I tried very hard to like or respect this character, but I only felt sorry for the guy and I found this depressing. However, De Niro and some of the supporting actors are quite good from an acting perspective in some scenes.
I gave this movie a 6 out of 10. I'd only recommend this movie to De Niro fans.
