Call Northside 777
(1948)
Directed by Henry
Hathaway this film stars James Steward, Richard Conte, Lee J. Cobb
and Helen Walker. Eleven years after they have been convicted for
killing a policeman a reporter tries to get two convicts freed.
This film is based on
a true story and seems to stick largely to what actually happened
even if there are a few minor discrepancies. Not much stands out from
the script which is a fairly average investigation piece. The film is
shot in a documentary style but largely the direction keeps out of
the way of the story telling.
3/5
