A French whodunit rooted firmly in the gritty streets of New York City, "Two Men in Manhattan" is a deliciously unique film noir gem. When a French UN delegate turns up missing, Moreau, a renegade journalist, and Delmas, a scotch-swigging photographer, team up to tackle the case. Writer/director Jean-Pierre Melville stars as Moreau, in what would be the only onscreen role of his career. Pierre Grasset plays Delmas, who turns heel at the climax of the film and ultimately flips the script on the good cop/bad cop dynamic between him and Moreau.
