They Live by Night.

Not what I was expecting.

Not sure what I was expecting. Possibly expecting something that black and white dramatic guise of Night of the Hunter (Although the title could also be mistaking for a horror flick). I guess this movie fits the bill. A black and white noir ( A strange one because it does not take place in a city like New York of San Fran)about two Bonnie and Clyde wanna bees (This movie was released two decades before Warren Beatty’s film bassed on the public enemies (Which begs the question of who influenced who?), on the run and falling in love all at the same time.

It’s a crime movie without a doubt but their is this romance between the two outlaws that drives the film. I like it that way. It works for me.
It’s about two young people who have a lot in common due to being outsiders and they are thrust together by crime,which can be romantic, especially in the movies, it’s not a surprise that they fell in love and did it fast.

Not what I was expecting, but better than expected.
