Nicholas Ray's directorial debut bears the hallmarks of his later masterpieces - his central themes of doomed youth and conflicted masculinity are all here. It bears a vague resemblance to the Bonnie and Clyde story, but Ray's ultra-romantic vision has more in common with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The early scenes, in particular, establish sympathy for the two main characters which a more conventional director could not have achieved, with naturalistic touches that show how Ray was a film-maker ahead of his time (which would ultimately be his undoing.)

Ray's debut film shows the promise of greatness soon to come from this talented director. The story of the star-crossed lovers on their ill conceived journey through what this hard world tosses at them is both tragic and heartfelt. You wish them well but this is noir.

Farley Granger is a young man who has been on the wrong side of the law since a young age. Currently he works with Chickamaw and T-Dub who rob banks for a living. That is until Farley meets Cathy giving off immediate sparks between them. After a bank job goes somewhat wrong, Farley and Cathy disappear together with Farley promising that he is down with crime. Of course, Farley's attempt to leave for the women he love becomes tested when his partners arent as willing to let him leave the "business". They Drive By Night is a compelling love story about two young adults who have grown up in hard times but are very naive and good natured. Its a noir with sensitive leads which is definitely unique among most noirs. The black and white cinematography is great and Nicholas Ray skillfully directs the picture with some great compositions and camera movements which really puncutate the emotion during certain scenes. Its a tragic love story, that is well told and very much believable and touching.

Hieno, mutta vÃ¤hÃ¤n surullinen romanttinen draama. Ennen osattiin tehdÃ¤ oikeita elokuvia.

"My way of thinking, folks ought to have what they want, long as they can pay for it." "So to speak, you're an investment, and you're gonna pay off." A realistic and sympathetic/sensitive (and early/influential) fugitive love story--loves and lives defeated by capitalism and the capitalist state. (Didn't Terrence Malick just steal the characters here for Badlands?)
