Interesting facts

  • Based on: Night and the City

Night and the City is a 1992 American neo-noir crime comedy-drama film and a remake of the 1950 film, itself an adaptation of Gerald Kersh's 1938 novel. The film stars Robert De Niro and Jessica Lange, and is directed by Irwin Winkler from a script by Richard Price.

Production

The source novel and the original film featured pro wrestling, which was by the early 1990s targeted mostly at children, instead of boxing. Like the earlier 1950 film noir, the film was released by 20th Century Fox. It was chosen as the closing feature for the 1992 New York Film Festival.
