Reviews:

I think this film holds up well and is well worth watching.
This is a very good film noir movie with excellent performances from the leads Farley Granger (of Hitchcock’s “Rope” and “Strangers on a Train” and another great film noir movie “The Edge of Doom”) and Cathy O’Donnell, whom I have not seen in any other role. Howard Da Silva also gives an excellent performance as a “one-eyed lush” of a gangster. I saw this movie as a teenager when it first came out and had not seen it since until recently, but I still think it holds up well as a movie well worth watching. Farley Granger, who tired of being cast as a “pretty boy” in trouble with the law and sought his fortunes elsewhere, in Europe, was a big loss to American movies.

tender crime drama
Farley Granger plays Bowie, a young con who escapes from the pen with two hardened criminals, Chicamaw and T-Dub played respectively by Howard Da Silva and Jay C Flippen in They Live By Night, an aptly titled film if there ever was one. Da Silva and Flippen are both terrific here, as is Cathy O’Donnel as Keechie, Bowie’s equally young girlfriend. The movie revolves around the relationship between them and their efforts to get away from the life of crime that is always a few steps behind them and also to try living like normal people, during the day, instead of at night, like their criminal associates. This was Nicholas Ray’s first film as a director and it certainly was a worthy effort, as it has fine performances throughout, especially O’Donnels. As the film comes to a close, you can pretty well figure out the ending, but that doesn’t detract from its potency, as they are let down by one of their own, blackmailed it seems by the cops.
