  Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
"Where the Sidewalk Ends," a fairly difficult to find film -- the only copy in perhaps the best stocked video store in Manhattan was a rough bootleg from the AMC cable channel -- belongs in a category with these classics.
From the moment the fl cloud of opening credits pass, a curtain is drawing around rogue loner detective Marc Dixon's crumbling world, and as the moments pass, it inches ever closer, threatening suffocation.
She shows herself to be an actress of considerable range, and her gentle, kind nature is as boundless here as is her psychosis in "Leave Her to Heaven." The scenes between Tierney and Andrews's Dixon grow more intense and touching the closer he seems to self-destruction.

The murky soup that is Sidewalk’s moral landscape is unmistakably reflected in the impossibly grainy texture of Mark Dixon’s world; it’s like smog indoors.
Fred H. November 26, 2006 9:47 AM From its opening shot, moving from a pedestrian pavement (with the title written on it in chalk) to the effluent drain alongside it, the film's constant concern is the ease with which one can pass from life's sidewalk to its gutter.
