Panic in the Streets, a 'film noir' directed by the immortal Elia Kazan might not be a Kazan movie with witch you are familiar, but one that is nonetheless a solid drama from 1950. With a rip roaringly great cast, the film makes us understand the whole mentality of mob violence. In lesser hands, this film would have descended into a B type film. Very lucky to have caught this on Turner for the 100th birthday commemoration of Elia Kazan. Very solid film, a touch below such classics as Gentleman's Agreement, A Streetcar Named Desire, America America and one of my personal favourites, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.
