NIGHTFALL
1956.....
78 Minutes
Aldo
Ray, Brian Keith, Anne Bancroft. Directed By Jacques Tourneur
While
on a hunting trip, Aldo Ray and his friend Frank Albertson are
set upon by fugitive bank robbers Brian Keith and Rudy Bond.
While they actually kill Albertson, Ray is knocked unconscious
and left for dead. Upon regaining consciousness, Ray is able
to appropriate the thieves' bag of stolen money. After hiding
the loot, Ray then sets out to find the authorities, only to
find himself accused of Albertson's murder. Now he must somehow
convince the authorities of his innocence and avoid the vengeful
thieves. While on the lam, Ray makes the acquaintance of fashion
model Anne Bancroft. Nightfall is a well-wrought film noir,
a specialty of director Jacques Tourneur.
