Amazon.com essential video:
An amazingly effective film noir action movie, shot on location in New Orleans in 1950, that has twists of plot and explosions of violence that can still make audiences gasp. Elia Kazan, of all people, directed this story of a public health worker (Richard Widmark) and a police detective (Paul Douglas) who have only a few hours in which to capture some fleeing felons who may be infected with the plague. The bad guys are played, with enormous relish, by Jack Palance and Zero Mostel, the latter only a few years before Kazan ratted him out to the House Un-American Activities Committee. In retrospect, this modest crime picture looks like a crucial turning point in the formation of Kazan's distinctive style, a clear precursor to the blistering location work of landmark films like On the Waterfront, Baby Doll, and America, America. --David Chute

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - New Orleans Noir Works It was interesting and clever that director Elia Kazan used the New Orleans docks as the backdrop for this gritty noir film that features actor Jack Palance's movie debut. Shot on location with many non-professional locals in acting roles that required scenes featuring their own occupations, Panic in the Streets, is an intense montage of classic noir images. Darkened alleys, seedy coffee shops, and one night boarding houses add to the realism that the New Orleans docks brings to the film's shadowy cinematography. Kazan uses extended long shots and heightened contrasts of dark and light to amplify scenes that are dominated by hopeless characters trapped in low level crime. Richard Widmark gives a credible performance as the doctor who is trying to alert the city's bureaucracy of an impending pandemic caused by a mysterious drifter who spends a night of card playing with local hustlers headed by Blackie ( Jack Palance). Blackie is a menacing character played to the hilt by Palance. Zero Mostel plays one of Blackie's sycophants who urgently seeks his bosses approval by appeasing his every whim. The final chase scene is shot and edited beautifully. The liner notes on the DVD add interesting facts about the making of the film, particularly Widmark's recollection of the ending fight scene. According to Widmark, Palance substituted a real gun, when a prop rubber gun should have been used. Widmark was hit on the head and was out for 20 minutes. Did he say anything to Palance? Watch the film and you will see why Widmark let it slide. Barbara Bel Geddes,another Hollywood blacklisted actor, gives a refreshing coy performance as Widmark's wife in the few key scenes of domesticity that are rarely evident in noir films. + See Full Customer Review
