aromatic-2 Review of City Across the River

City Across the River (1949)

West Side Story 10 years earlier & without the music

[9/10 · 28 May 2000]

Sensitive study about the lives and loves of street gangs, their loyalties, and interactions with the police. Peter Fernandez is a bit too feckless as the protagonist, but all others are excellent in the supporting roles. Joshua Shelley and Tony Curtis are standouts. Worth watching
