The film noir period was great period for crime dramas and what many of us would consider gangster films. The Naked City was one of the many great crime dramas to be released during this period. The Naked City takes place in New York City during that 1940’s when a mysterious murder death of a woman occurs. I found the way the film was shot unique, since all of it was filmed directly of the streets of New York during the 1940’s and the people that you see around where actual people and not actors. Being filming on the street that being filmed in a studio on a stage worked in its advantage. It allowed you to see the city for what it was adding more to the story and I enjoyed being to see old New York for what it was. It gave the film an authentic feel to it as if the crime that occurred was real and they happen to get it recorded. What I noticed was that the people in the film were very helpful, the scene where the cop was chasing after the suspect people were more than willing to point out where he was headed.
