Night People (1954)


NIGHT PEOPLE  (1954)

    D: Nunnally Johnson

Vintage Cold War spy stuff starring Gregory Peck as an Army intelligence officer in Berlin and Broderick Crawford as an axel-grease tycoon whose G.I. son has gone missing, abducted by the Russians. It's not Graham Greene or John Le Carré, but as a product of its era this holds up fairly well. A throwback to a time when we generally knew the good guys from the bad guys, especially when the good guys were played by Gregory Peck.
