Call Northside 777 (1948)



A Chicago reporter re-opens a ten year old murder case.

Captivating and superbly cast crime drama, a bit long, but always holds one's interest.

Halliwell**: "Overlong semi-documentary crime thriller based on a real case. Acting and detail excellent, but the sharp edge of Boomerang is missing."

Maltin***1/2: "Absorbing drama...handled in semi-documentary style."
