What is Nightfall/And Hope To Die about?

NIGHTFALL, 1957, Sony Repertory, 79 min. Dir. Jacques Tourneur. One of the last true noirs of the classic era, this often-overlooked gem, based on a novel by noir legend David Goodis. Aldo Ray plays an artist whose life goes permanently haywire when fate interrupts a winter hunting trip. From then on it’s life on the run, dozens of double-crosses, psychotic killers on his trail, lots of de rigeur flashbacks, and a young Anne Bancroft decked out in sequins and lace. AND HOPE TO DIE (LA COURSE DU LIÈVRE À TRAVERS LES CHAMPS), 1972, Rialto, 99 min. Dir. René Clement. This adaptation of David Goodis’ novel Black Friday concerns a crook on the lam (Jean Louis Trintignant) who crosses paths with a Montreal gang plotting a big score-led by noir stalwarts Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray (speaking French!). “Froggy” (as Ryan dubs our hero) decides to join in the heist and, of course, ends up neck-deep in danger. In French with English subtitles.
