Synopsis

The Big Night is a 1951 American film noir directed by Joseph Losey and starring Preston Foster, Joan Lorring and John Drew Barrymore in his first starring role. The film is based on a script written by Joseph Losey and Stanley Ellin, based on Ellin's 1948 novel Dreadful Summit. Hugo Butler and Ring Lardner Jr. also contributed to the screenplay, but both men were admitted communists, and following Lardner's conviction for contempt of Congress, they were uncredited when the film was first released.
