Synopsis
On Dangerous Ground (1951) is a film noir you can watch online on iFILM. City detective Jim Wilson is burned out — years working the slums have left him a cop who throws punches first and asks questions never. Tired of the complaints, his bosses ship him off to the snowbound countryside to cool down.
Nicholas Ray directed, with Ida Lupino finishing the closing stretch and also taking a lead role. Up north, Wilson (Robert Ryan) joins a manhunt for the suspect in a girl's killing. The dead child's father (Ward Bond), wild with grief, is hunting too and means to handle it himself. Out in an isolated farmhouse lives a blind woman named Mary (Ida Lupino), whose tie to the fugitive turns the whole case inside out for Wilson.
A late entry in the classic noir cycle, where urban brutality runs straight into the hush of winter hills and a chance to stay human. It's for fans of black-and-white crime and anyone after a noir less about the detective than about what the job made of him. Stream On Dangerous Ground (1951) online on iFILM.
