Clash by Night (Lang, 1952): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 12.10pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Marilyn Monroe season at BFI Southbank. The movie also screens on July 17th and features an introduction by season curator Kimberley Sheehan. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
A love triangle set in a scruffy seaport town, with Barbara Stanwyck,
Paul Douglas, and Robert Ryan. The script, adapted from a Clifford Odets
play, seems to have roused the realist in director Fritz Lang: the
backwater atmosphere is as authentic as it is oppressive. The naturalism
of this 1952 film, one of Lang’s most underrated, makes an interesting
contrast with the wild exaggerations of his Rancho Notorious, made the same year; for the buffs, there’s also an early starlet appearance by Marilyn Monroe.
