Panic In The Streets

Panic In The Streets : short review

Panic In The Streets

A film noir classic based on a short story by Edward and Edna Anhalt. When the victim of a gangland killing is found to be riddled with a pneumonic plague, New Orleans medical officer Dr. Clinton Reed (Richard Widmark), in a race against time, must stop the deadly epidemic from desecrating the city. Reed must form an initially unlikely alliance with police chief Tom Warren (Paul Douglas) and hunt down and exterminate the infected murderers, Blackie (Jack Palance) and Raymond (Zero Mostel). Shot entirely on location, Kazan adopted many of the conventions of documentary filmmaking to lend the film its intensity and gritty realism.
