On Dangerous Ground

(1951)Directed by Nicholas Ray, Ida Lupino82 minDrama, Crime
“In One Strange Night she met both LOVE... and MURDER!”

Jim Wilson (Robert Ryan), a city cop, is sent out to the country after his superiors decide he is too angry to do the job. Out there he joins a manhunt for a suspected murderer, working alongside men who have none of his habits, with Ward Bond's Walter Brent among them. Nicholas Ray puts Jim in the rain-soaked streets first and the winter quiet after, and the man who has to live with himself is the same in both.
