After a former model is drowned in her bathtub, Detective Halloran and Lieutenant Muldoon investigate her murder. As Muldoon and Halloran start to fill in the details of the victim’s past, they find that she had a lively social life, filled with many suitors, and the mystery becomes more complex.

One of the first Hollywood productions to be shot entirely on the streets of NYC, this vivid police procedural from Jules Dassin marries noir to city symphony. Hugely influential, Kurosawa would borrow its textural detail for Stray Dog, while The French Connection tapped its thrill of the chase.
