Cry of the City Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 18, 2025
I enjoyed the use of light in this black and white film. It helped create the mood and added to the emotion of the characters.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a deliberately-paced drama that grows more and more compelling as it unfolds...
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
The urban atmosphere of city traffic and the scuffed and worn authenticity of real storefronts and sidewalks gives the film a charge of realism but Siodmak forgoes docurealism for his beloved expressionist style.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
the strengths of Cry of the City lie mostly in the strong performances ... and realistic evocation of life among the urban poor
Variety
Variety Staff
It's an exciting motion picture, credibly put together to wring out every bit of strong action and tension inherent in such a plot.
TV Guide
Splendid on-location photography by Sersen and top performances from Mature, Conte, and the wicked Emerson make this a film noir must.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
Cry of the City may be strident at times but its message, story and players are thoroughly effective.
