Missed this great film of director Stanley Kubrick in 1955. The black and white effect was perfect for this depressing story. However, it was enjoyable watching these two actors, Jamie Smith (Dave Gordon),"Only Fools & Horses '81 TV Series" and Irene Kane(Gloria Price) "All That Jazz" '79, look at each other through the windows of their one room apartments in the same building, dressing and undressing and looking very depressed and down in the dumps. Jamie was a down and out prizer fighter and Gloria was a dance for hire gal, who was down on her luck working along Broadway, NYC and being taken advantage of by the villian, Frank Silvera (Vincent Rapallo) "Valdez Is Coming" '71". Stanley Kubrick wanted this film to be a very realistic film about two people being drawn together by hard luck, therefore, he had these actors act just the way ordinary people would act in REAL LIFE, it makes it appear that they are both poor actors, which is far from the truth. It was great to see a man and a woman become drawn to each other and be able to try and cope with their horrible situations in life. This a great Classic film by Stanley Kubrick!!
