No one will confuse "Side Street" for a classic unsung noir, but people have rarely appeared smaller below the whims and winds of bad decisions. Not good, not bad, just human, and an intriguing perspective for Anthony Mann to go out on with film noir.

In addition to its twisty plot, this also offers a scenic tour of notable NYC locations.

...a hit-and-miss endeavor that’s at its best when focused on Joe’s increasingly frantic attempts at clearing his name...
