A taut film noir gem, Somewhere In the Night follows an amnesiac veteran Marine through nighttime Los Angeles in search of his forgotten past and the origins of a briefcase full of Nazi plunder. John Hodiak is rarely as expressive as the disoriented soldier trying to find his way through the criminal underworld. Mankiewicz's original screenplay weaves a wonderfully disorienting spell with its labyrinthine plot and its announcement of memory as one of Mankiewicz's recurrent themes. – HG
