Movie review
From Time Out New York
Some movies are too stagy, but Dark Streets is too much like a supper club. This misbegotten musical noir homage could have been written for Garrison Keillor’s Guy Noir sketch, and it mistakes shooting out of focus for stylishness. The plot involves a phlegmatic nightclub owner (Mann) who becomes embroiled in a half-pint Chinatown. The film is dedicated to the victims of Katrina and Gustav, who can be better supported in other ways.Author: Ben Kenigsberg
