"There is also a physical side to love; and some women are more demanding than others... And some automobiles are blue," slurs Dana Andrews, drunk in real life and in-character as a reporter in Fritz Lang's WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, here with Ida Lupino as the Film Noir's serial killer, John Barrymore Jr., waits in the wings.
The third of four movies starring Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain is the only where Crain plays the sort of "other woman" on the sidelines wherein Dana's MADISON AVENUE mover/shaker is building-up the career of Eleanor Parker. The scenes between Andrews and Crain, though, are the longest and last throughout the entire story.
