WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS (1950)
OTTO PREMINGER
Plot
Already in trouble with his superiors over his brutal tactics and alienated from his colleagues, detective Mark Dixon's problems pile up when he accidentally kills a murder suspect and then falls in love with the dead man's wife. Where The Sidewalk Ends is a dark atmospheric noir thriller, with a classic anti hero in the form of Dana Andrews and a suitably torturous path to redemption.
