The film"s page
Erwin Riedenschneider dit « Doc » organise son prochain coup : le casse d’une bijouterie. Pour réaliser son plan, il recrute différents hommes dans le milieu clandestin de la pègre. En évoluant dans ce monde nocturne fait de bars louches et où la loi de la jungle règne en maître, il se lie notamment avec un avocat véreux, un bookmaker, un tueur à gages et un spécialiste des coffres-forts. Mais lorsqu’un imprévu survient lors du braquage, la personnalité de chacun ressurgit et les difficultés commencent.
Notes : c’est grâce à son petit rôle dans Quand la ville dort que Marilyn Monroe fut remarquée à Hollywood. La comédienne tournera une seconde fois avec John Huston dans Les Désaxés en 1961.
