Nightfall

Synopsis
During his long and varied career, Jacques Tourneur tackled a breadth of genres on both sides of the Atlantic. With NIGHTFALLi, he returns to the noir genre.
Adapted from the novel by prolific crime fiction author David Goodis, the film is the story of Jim Vanning, an innocent man wrongly accused of murder. On the same night he has a chance encounter in a bar with glamorous model Marie; the hoods he’s spent the past year running from catch up with him, determined to recover the money they believe he stole from them. Pursued by both the hoods and law enforcement, Vanning and Marie go on the lam, leading to a desperate chase that takes them from the streets of Los Angeles to the snowy peaks of Wyoming.
Extras:
-New audio commentary by author and critic Bryan Reesman
-WHITE AND BLACK, a new video appreciation of NIGHTFALL by film historian Philip Kemp.
-DO I LOOK LIKE A MARRIED MAN?, a new video essay on the themes of NIGHTFALL by author and critic Kat Ellinger
