Blue City is a 1986 American action thriller film directed by Michelle Manning and starring Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and David Caruso. It is based on Ross Macdonald's 1947 novel of the same name about a young man who returns to a corrupt small town in Florida to avenge the death of his father.

Production

The novel by Ross Macdonald was originally published in 1947. It was compared to the work of Dashiell Hammett, in particular Red Harvest. Walter Hill wrote the script with Lukas Heller and was originally intended to star a leading man in his mid-30s but by the mid-1980s, a number of popular young male actors had emerged, so the script was rewritten to accommodate one of them.

Hill handed over directing duties to first-timer Michelle Manning. She previously worked with Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson on The Breakfast Club as a producer. Her The Breakfast Club co-producer was Ned Tanen and when he took over as head of production at Paramount, the studio agreed to finance Blue City with Manning's direction.

Manning did admit being a woman director meant "You're under a microscope. You suddenly become a media event for no good reason."

"Instead of having to make the rounds and go to casting calls and auditioning with hundreds of other guys, suddenly my agent has more offers coming in than I can possibly handle. I'm in a position where I can actually turn a job down. It's a strange experience."

Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers. That's the way Billy Turner sees it--it's good guys and bad guys. He's the misunderstood hero now. What, is he out of his mind? He doesn't even know what`s going on. Billy Turner is supposedly on a quest to find out who killed his father, but as soon as he gets a gun in his hand, it's like: 'Hey--I've got a gun in my hand!' It's a little like real life--sometimes you don't know what you're supposed to be doi…
