		Panic In The Streets emanates from that brief moment in Kazan's career after he broke free from the theatrical and studio constraints of his early work and before he took up the more hyperbolic adaptations of Tennessee Williams, John Steinbeck, et.
		Refreshingly, it proves to be of little use to read Panic In The Streets within a particular social and political rubric other than as a means to situate and to some degree motivate its investigation into the seedy working-class ethnic melting pot of New Orleans.
		Panic In The Streets is essentially a relatively breezy film with a superficially serious subject matter.

	DVDFILE.COM: Laura - Panic in the Streets - Call Northside 777 Review
		Panic in the Streets is a bit more difficult to grasp firmly, but Elia Kazan is nevertheless able to infuse the film with enough New Orleans mood to make you think Bourbon Street itself is smoking out of your DVD player.
		What Panic in the Streets has that the other two titles included here don't necessarily tap into is a sense of overwhelming social anxiety.
		Panic in the Streets only houses a screen-specific audio commentary and a theatrical trailer (as well as a look at other Fox Noir titles: Call Northside 777, House of Bamboo, Laura, and The Street With No Name), but the commentary is quite nice.

		Usually relegated to the second tier of Kazan's features, "Panic in the Streets" was actually a stylistic breakthrough for a director previously known for his tasteful literary and theatrical approach.
		More than simply proving he was not stagebound as a director, "Panic in the Streets" announced Kazan as the leader of a movement that would open up Hollywood's "dream factory" to bold visions of real life, warts and all.
		Fox's "Panic in the Streets" DVD offers excellent image and sound quality and includes a feature-length audio commentary by Alain Silver and James Ursini, editors of the well-respected "Film Noir Reader," as well as trailers for the movie and other film noir releases from the studio.

		Panic in the Streets (1950): Filmed entirely on location in New Orleans, Panic in the Streets stars Richard Widmark as a city medical officer, racing against time to stop a plague epidemic.
		Many of the actors in Panic in the Streets are local nonprofessionals, selected by director Elia Kazan because of their "rightness" within the framework of the story; the rest of the cast is peopled by such film veterans as Barbara Bel Geddes, Tommy Cook, Emile Meyer and H.T. Tsiang.
		Though Elia Kazan liked to claim that much of Panic in the Streets was improvised, there was a script, adapted by Richard Murphy and Daniel Fuchs from a story by Edward Anhalt and Edna Anhalt.

		Because there are a few too many inconsistencies, one couldn't call Panic in the Streets a masterpiece: Widmark's refusal to blow the whistle seems bizarre when the police can simply block off the city, while a few other plot developments are a tad rich to actually believe.
		Fox's DVD release of Panic in the Streets (under their "Fox Film Noir" imprimatur) is just ever so slightly imperfect.
		To be sure, the full-frame image is satisfactory; although there's a slight indistinctness with some backlit shots and a hint of murkiness in the darkest shots, it's mostly smooth sailing.

		Panic in the Streets featured a mesmerizing performance from Richard Widmark as the doctor called in to investigate a mysterious death who becomes entangled in a sinister plot.
		Kazan's loose style with actors was innovative for 1950, and he would continue to hone his direction of "method" acting in the next several years with such films as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, and East of Eden.
		Somewhat overlooked in the filmography of Elia Kazan, "Panic in the Streets" is nonetheless a riveting, atmospheric thriller that is among the best film noirs.

		The post-mortem shows that he was suffering from plague, and it's likely that his killers (Mostel and Palance), are now carriers themselves.
		Panic In The Streets is one of those films where the subtext is as captivating as the drama.
		The plot's plague scare device has more direct significance post 9/11 than it did in 1950.

		In addition, Panic in the Streets is notable for being one of Kazan's favorite films of his.
		He considered it to be his first "real" film, or as DVD commentators Ursini and Silver put it: the film where Kazan "made the transition from a director of performances to a director of films".

		After a stint at Twentieth Century Fox during which they earned an Oscar for the screen story to the urban thriller "Panic in the Streets" (1950), the husband and wife team returned to Columbia as writer-producers.

		Richard Widmark stars as a public-health officer who diagnoses an unidentified homicide victim as infected with a contagious strain of plague that would have killed him in days had his murderer not intervened.
		Panic in the Streets is well-paced and superbly acted, but what really stands out are the uncommon touches by Kazan and screenwriters Daniel Fuchs and Richard Murphy that break the facade of movie artificiality common to titles of this period.
		Fox presents Panic in the Streets in a nice-looking full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR) from a pleasant fl-and-white source print with both the original monaural soundtrack and a new stereo remix.

		But Panic in the Streets was crucial to him getting there; it's not an especially highbrow undertaking, which in fact for Kazan may have been the point.
		With its keen visuals and filmed entirely on location, though, it's a story told largely through pictures, and it holds up as a taut bit of filmmaking.
		It's a solid movie in its own right, but may almost be more interesting for the light it sheds on the significant work by the director that would soon follow.
