There is money missing from a bank job, an attractive model, an insurance investigator, and two extremely dangerous thugs. James Vanning (Aldo Ray) portrays an innocent man on the run, being pursued by the criminals who stupidly misplaced their take from the crime and think he has it or knows where it is hidden. Add model Marie Gardner (Anne Bancroft) who crossed paths with nice guy Vanning, while he is on the run. This all adds up to a thriller wherein the viewer is drawn into the story and becomes part of the drama. When Marie says "things that really happen are difficult to explain" it captures the theme of this film. A nice girl helps a nice guy, who is innocent and is drawn into the drama. As tension mounts she says: "I am always meeting the wrong man, and it leads to doomed relationships." Marie inadvertently leads Vanning into the hands of the villains.

Review :

masterpiece film concocted of improbabilities

One watches Nightfall and the story seems (or actually, is) full of glaring improbabilities. Yet, in spite of that, it's hard if not impossible, to stop watching the film. The characters and imagery are remarkable. So what if Brian Keith and Rudy Bond stupidly lose 350,000 dollars just so they can move the story along and chase protagonist Aldo Ray from snowy Wyoming to sunny LA. Losing the money is but one of those points in the film where the viewer has to go along and have faith in the superb craftwork of director Jacques Tourneur. He was not about to let one's expectations down in this late 50's noir excursion which is full of disturbing imagery and menace that more than makes up for holes in the plot, if that's even necessary. Especially eye-catching are scenes of the mechanical movements of an L.A. oil derrick in the middle of the night as it neatly snaps a two by four, and later, the glistening blades of a Wyoming snow plow shining in the morning sun.
