Directed by Jacques Tourneur from one of the masterful, despairing novels of David Goodis, NIGHTFALL is the tale of an innocent man trapped in a senseless and lethal web of seduction and crime. The cinematography by noir specialist Burnett Guffey (HUMAN DESIRE, THE BROTHERS RICO) captures the shadowy, neon-lit city as well as a vast and borderless winter landscape, ranking among his greatest achievements.
