Film: They Live by Night

Tickets: $8

1949, directed by Nicholas Ray

Ray’s first film may be his most poignant due to his sensitive direction of the two leads, Farley Granger and Cathy O’Donnell, who play young lovers on the lam. Most likely influenced by the Bonnie and Clyde story, the film (scripted by Charles Schnee) is an adaptation of Edward Anderson’s novel Thieves Like Us, a little-known minor masterpiece of the 1930s. In English. 95 minutes.

Once again, Bard SummerScape is pleased to present all titles on 35mm film (whenever possible).
