Movie Reviews

DVDLaser - 6/10 by Douglas PrattHenry Fonda had a number of classic film roles, but it is incredibly exciting to see the raw sensitivity and confidence he delivers in Long Night , which ranks among the very best of his performances, all the more so because of its relative obscurity.
User Review - 10/10 by Caitlin FHenry Fonda was the sweetest man alive in this movie and it made me dream about him and the movie was fantastic!!!!! love you Henry <3
User Review - 8/10 by Doug CTop notch melodrama. Atmospheric and moving, full of conflict including some unusual class commentary, with Henry as a working class everyman and Vincent as a dastardly nihilistic entertainer
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VIt takes about three minutes for Henry Fonda to shoot Vincent Price and a glorious hour and a half to find out why. A reworking of Marcel Carne's Le Jour se lève (1939).
User Review - 8/10 by Zoran SAlmost worth the price of admission A man suspected of murder is quickly surrounded within an apartment building. The man in the building is widely respected in the neighborhood and his friends and neighbors find it hard to believe he would commit a murder suicide. As the situation escalates, the man has flashbacks of a love triangle that lead to this evening's events. "In a strange way I'm honest...even when I lie." Anatole Litvak, director of Snake Pit, The Lady in the Car with Glasses and a Gun, The Deep Blue Sea, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, and Out of the Fog, delivers The Long Night. The storyline for this picture is very interesting and well told. Everything throughout the movie falls into place nicely and the plot evolves well. The cast delivers outstanding performances and contains Henry Fonda, Vincent Price, Barbara Bel Geddes, Elisha Cook, and David Clarke. "The more you hear the less you know." I am a huge fan of both Henry Fonda and Vincent Price and came across this movie while flicking through Vincent Price movies to DVR. I was impressed by the female characters in this film and Fonda delivered a great wholesome character with an edge. I thought this movie was entertaining with a great resolve. Overall, this has great characters and a solid plot. Grade: B
User Review - 8/10 by Adam STo think that the producers wanted to eradicate all prints of "Le Jour se Leve" from the world to help preserve this remake as the sole bearer of it's flashback heavy, brooding love triangle (quadrangle?). Thankfully that didn't happen, and we have both films to compare, and they're both excellent, the former in a poetic mood, the latter with melodramatic noirish overtones, and great cinematography. Fonda, Bel Geddes, Price (doing his own magic), and Dvorak are all exceptional.
User Review - 8/10 by Orlok WA friendly, but maladjusted veteran meets a girl. The girl likes him but has already met a man who's sweeping her off her feet. Then there's a worldly-wise gal-pal who sees what's really going on. Toss in a few cops that only want to end a situation regardless of the method and.... , someone's gonna die. A joy seeing Price play off Fonda - and Elisha Cook Jr was impeccable too. Bel Geddes and Dvorak are both alluring in their respective type-casts.
User Review - 6/10 by Benjamin BMuddled noir that manages to accomplish only one thing. Making you feel uneasy. Great performances however, with Price stealing the show in one of his more evil performances.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TMoody & noirish; takes the flashback motif to new styles of absurdity.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam Da fair to good film noir Henry Fonda a bad guy watch this movie and see what happens.
