    • Trivia
      Martin Scorsese was originally set to direct, but dropped out. In fact, it was Scorsese who recruited screenwriter Richard Price to write a draft. According to an interview with Neal Gabler, Price said, "He (Scorsese) felt like he had already 'done' (Night in the City) in all his other films. There was no challenge for him." It would be another six years before producer and director Irwin Winkler and Robert De Niro became interested in making the film.

    Slice-of-low-life melodrama

    NIGHT AND THE CITY (1992) *** Robert De Niro, Jessica Lange, Alan King, Cliff Gorman, Jack Warden, Barry Primus. Slice-of-low-life portrait remake of 1940 Richard Widmark flick casts De Niro as ambulance chasing attorney Harry Fabian trying to score big-time as a boxing promoter with the help of his lady love (Lange in an uncharacteristically unglamourous role) and the ex-fighter brother (Warden) of his chief nemesis (King in a humdinger of chilly malevolence as the corrupt boxing mogul). Feisty and surprisingly funny script courtesy of Richard Price (in a bit role as a doctor) has its moments of ugliness and sudden downshift into tragedy. De Niro, at times over-the-top, is the life-force to this otherwise entertaining melodrama.
