Stadt im Würgegriff: Directed by Robert Wise. With John Forsythe, Joan Camden, Harold J. Kennedy, Marjorie Crossland. A small town newspaperman’s investigation into a local bookie operation turns up a web of organized crime.
“A riveting film about a small town newspaper editor who simply wonu0026#39;t quit seeking justice. I was struck by the remarkably good acting from mostly no-name actors. Also, you will certainly notice the cinematography. The use of the new Hoge lens allowed an unusual depth of focus and interior shots in low lighting. Every scene, inside and out, was shot in Reno, Nevada. The score is also noteworthy. Definitely worthwhile viewing!”
