Patton Oswalt on

While the City Sleeps

Released 1956
Distributor RKO Radio Pictures

Boasting a fever dream cast that brings together Dana Andrews, George Sanders, Vincent Price, and Ida Lupino, Fritz Lang’s film about a serial killer and the race to catch him is a companion piece to Wilder’s Ace in the Hole. Price plays the cynical CEO of a news service who uses the killings as a cudgel and Andrews is the newsman holding tight to his scruples. Casey Robinson (Kings Row) wrote the screenplay, Ernest Laszlo (D.O.A.) did the noirish photography.
