Synopsis
“There are eight million stories in the Naked City – as the narrator immortally states in this breathtakingly vivid film – “and this is one of them.” In New York City, an attractive blonde model, Jean Dexter, is found murdered in the bathtub of her apartment. Homicide detectives Dan Muldoon and Jimmy Halloran take on the case. Their investigation ties the model’s death to a bizarre string of apartment burglaries, and with the help of other beat cops and detectives, they set out to find the girl’s killer. But as Muldoon and Halloran start to fill in the details of the victim’s past, they discover that her lively social life and many suitors make the mystery even more complex... Master noir craftsman Jules Dassin and newspaperman-turned-producer Mark Hellinger united to make the first studio film ever shot entirely on location in New York. Equally as influenced by Italian neorealism as American crime fiction, this double Academy Award winner remains a benchmark for naturalism in noir, living and breathing in the promises and perils of the Big Apple, from its lowest depths to its highest skyscrapers.
