Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Noir double feature
This is an excellent package, combining a true classic of the genre with a rarer piece with which it shares a lot of common connections.
THEY LIVE BY NIGHT is the first screen telling of the novel, THIEVES LIKE US, remade in the 70s with great skill by Robert Altman, This one has a more conventional style from the late forties, but both are totally effective depictions of a pair of young lovers on the lam.
Very moving, tragic. Well performed, all around. The Altman version ... Read More
Rating: - A masterpiece and a mediocre noir
I'm not a great fan of Nicholas Ray but he made in "They Live by Night" a truly classic film. The film has its lacks, or rather annoyances, but they don't take away from the overall feeling of watching Granger and the girl (sorry I forgot her name just now) playing the best "Romeo & Juliet" ever seen on film. Romeo/Juliet on its poor and Southern version, not the rich and glamorous. They just look so natural and the camera is right where the viewer wants to be.
The story is not that awesome, ... Read More
Rating:  - They live by night / Side street
I would have liked to submit a review on this title. Only I can't, because inside the case there was a different DVD, with a completely different noir double feature.
I decided to keep it, when I saw it was interesting as well. So, it has become a funny item in my collection, with "They live by night / Side street" on the cover, and "Where danger lives / Tension" in the interior.
Rating: - NICHOLAS RAY, OPUS 1
****1/2 1948. THEY LIVE BY NIGHT is an adaptation of Edward Anderson's Thieves Like Us. Co-written and directed by Nicholas Ray. An escapee falls in love with a young girl, marries her and tries to reach a place where he could start a new life. Nicholas Ray's first movie is a one of a kind film noir that should be in every movie lover's library. The director is more interested in the description of the relation between Cathy O'Donnell and Farley Granger than in the usual film noir clichés; for instance, note ... Read More
Rating: - The Rural South & the Urban North. Two Solid Film Noirs Have a Lot in Common.
"They Live By Night" and "Side Street" are film noirs in which ordinary, flawed men try to extricate themselves from a web of crime and deceit created by their own momentary foolishness. In both cases, the protagonist is pursued by both the law and the hoodlums. "They Live By Night" was shelved for 2 years before it could get a US release, but both films were made under the aegis of executive producer Dore Schary, first at RKO, then at MGM. They both pair actors Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell as sympathetic, ... Read More
