FREE ON YOUTUBE (DU FINDEST DEN GANZEN FILM FREI AUF YOUTUBE) Als ich versuchte, eine schöne DVD Sammlung für unsere Videothek aufzubauen, wurde mir schnell klar, wie schlecht der deutsche Markt ist. Keine Filme von Jules Dassin! Klar, die wurden alle in den USA verlegt, doch mit einem hinderlichen Regional Code. Schwer abzuspielen für uns. Dann kam ich auf das chinesische Staats-Label Bo Ying, die am liebsten DVDs mit Filmen herausbringen, deren Rechte sonst von niemanden verwertet werden. Weltweit! Eine Fundgrube! Heute laufen genau diese Filme - deren Rechte nicht verwertet werden - frei auf YouTube. So wie Naked City, ein Polizei-Thriller aus der Nachkriegszeit (Polizei Filme sind das Genre, das dem Film Noir zum Verwechseln ähnlich sieht - nur das Polizisten, nicht Verbrecher, im Mittelpunkt stehen.) Naked City spielt in New York. Ein Model wird tot in der Badewanne gefunden. Lt. Dan Muldoon (Barry Fitzgerald), der seit über 20 Jahren bei der Mord-Kommission arbeitet, untersucht den Fall gemeinsam mit seinem Partner Jimmy Halloran (Don Taylor). Sie stossen auf den dubiosen Dr. Lawrence Stoneman (House Jameson) und ein Netz aus geheimen Affären und Lügen. Im Gegensatz zum Film Noir, der im besten Fall fast unwirkliche Qualitäten hat, beruhen die Polizei Thriller auf wahren Begebenheiten. Jules Dassins Naked City wurde durch eine Foto Dokumentation echter Tatorte inspiriert. Man könnte ihn fast als semi-dokumentarischen Film über den Sündenpfuhl New York bezeichnen. Übrigens eine Qualität, die im Hollywood seiner Zeit keinen Gefallen fand. Kurz nach Abschluss der Dreharbeiten zu diesem Meisterwerk wurde Dassin auf die schwarze Liste Hollywoods gesetzt... - FREE ON YOUTUBE (DU FINDEST DEN GANZEN FILM FREI AUF YOUTUBE) When I tried to build up a nice DVD collection for our video store, I quickly realized how bad the German market was. No films by Jules Dassin! Sure, they were all published in the USA, but with an obstructive regional code. Hard to play for us. Then I came across the Chinese state label Bo Ying, which prefers to release DVDs with films whose rights are not exploited by anyone else. Worldwide! A treasure trove! Today these very films - whose rights are not exploited - run freely on YouTube. Just like Naked City, a police thriller from the post-war period (police films are the genre that looks confusingly like the film Noir - only the policeman, not criminals, are the focus). Naked City is set in New York. A model is found dead in the bathtub. Lt. Dan Muldoon (Barry Fitzgerald), who has worked for the Homicide Commission for over 20 years, investigates the case together with his partner Jimmy Halloran (Don Taylor). They come across the dubious Dr. Lawrence Stoneman (House Jameson) and a network of secret affairs and lies. In contrast to the film Noir, which at best has almost unreal qualities, the police thrillers are based on true events. Jules Dassin's Naked City was inspired by a photo documentary of real crime scenes. One could almost call it a semi-documentary film about the cesspool of sin in New York. By the way, a quality that wasn't appreciated in Hollywood at that time. Shortly after shooting this masterpiece was finished, Dassin was blacklisted by Hollywood...FREE ON YOUTUBE (DU FINDEST DEN GANZEN FILM FREI AUF YOUTUBE) When I tried to build up a nice DVD collection for our video store, I quickly realized how bad the German market is.

The Naked City is a solid…
The Naked City is a solid detective film that's most notable for its outstanding cinematography, shot on location on the streets of NYC. The story is pretty standard stuff and to be honest most of the characters are fairly generic but the film is still very watchable and it ends very strongly. This is like a precursor of all those cop shows on TV, except none looked as good as this
