The Long Night

(1947)Directed by Anatole Litvak101 minDrama, Thriller, Crime, Romance
“COMING AT YOU ... in a blast of terrific drama!”

Joe Adams (Henry Fonda) wants only to be left alone with his thoughts as the police close in around the building where he has shut himself in. He is a suspected murderer who knows there is no way out, and he will not give himself up. Anatole Litvak, remaking Marcel Carné's Le jour se lève, keeps the story tight around that single sealed place.
