Union City is a 1980 American neo-noir crime mystery film directed by Mark Reichert and starring Deborah Harry, Dennis Lipscomb, and Everett McGill. Based on the short story "Union City: The Corpse Next Door" by Cornell Woolrich, the film had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 1980, before opening in New York City on September 26, 1980, and in Los Angeles on August 5, 1981.

Production

The film starred Everett McGill, Dennis Lipscomb, and Deborah Harry of Blondie fame. The band was relatively unknown in the US at the time Harry was cast, but this changed when "Heart of Glass" reached number one in the United States midway through filming.

The short story written by Cornell Woolrich is set in the 1930s but Reichert relocated it to 1953, for he felt the period offered greater psychological possibilities for his interpretation of the material. With the encouragement of the film's originating producer Monty Montgomery, he wrote the screenplay in eight days.
