THEY LIVE BY NIGHT | TWISTED ROAD, THE | YOUR RED WAGON
starstarstarstarstar
Nicholas Ray's energetic first feature tells the tragic story of two doomed lovers (Farley Granger, Cathy O'Donnell) and of their short, fast life together before they are torn apart by the criminal world. Rather than shooting the sartlingling opening with a standard camera set-up, Ray demanded that the scene be photographed from a helicopter, a highly unorthodox idea that has now become a standard element of the cinematic lexicon.
