They Live by Night

on BBC Two England

Nicholas Ray fans are in for a treat this week, with six films directed by the American auteur. Today's double bill starts with this romantic film noir in which an innocent young convict breaks free from jail in the company of two hardened criminals but is injured in a car accident. He is nursed back to health by a young woman and the two find themselves falling in love. But their happiness is short-lived.
