While the City Sleeps on DVD in August

24 June 2010

Do youi like hard-boiled American noir dramas from the fifties? Good. How about one set in the world of journalism with a serial killer story hovering in the background? Excellent. Then Exposure Cinema have just the film for you in the shape of the 1956 While the City Sleeps, directed by genre specialist Fritz Lang (the man behind Metropolis, Kiss Me Deadly and the Dr. Mabuse films, as if you needed to be told that) and featuring a cast that includes Dana Andrews, Rhonda Fleming, George Sanders, Thomas Mitchell, Ida Lupino, and Vincent Price as newspaper publisher Walter Kyne.

While a police-eluding serial killer prowls the New York streets, newspaper publisher Walter Kyne pits his three top newsmen against each other to catch the maniac and scoop the story, but in the ensuing chase the hounds become entangled in professional rivalry and romantic complications – with deadly consequences.

Described by the Time Out Film Guide as "Lang's most underrated movie," While the City Sleeps will be released on UK DVD on 16th August 2010 by Exposure Cinema at the RRP of £11.99. Extra features include:

  • Original trailer;
  • Stills;
  • Poster and pressbook gallery;
  • poster art card.
