Il dominatore di Chicago (1958) in streaming su altadefinizione
Nel 1933, a Chicago, Thomas Farrell, l'avvocato dal successo economico ma dalla reputazione dubbia, dato che rappresenta il potente gangster John Callagher e i suoi uomini, è stanco delle delusioni e amarezze della vita. Un giorno si imbatte in Wicky, una brava ragazza, e sente di voler cambiare vita, ma legato com'è a John non riesce a liberarsene. Questo film, che salvò la Metro Goldwin Mayer dal fallimento, è tratto da un romanzo di Leo Katcher, sceneggiato da George Wells. Delirante e disperato, con personaggi tragici ed un implacabile senso del destino, è uno dei grandi classici diretti da Ray, dove Cyd Charisse porta una sensuale aria di musical.
