The best thing about Two Men in Manhattan

The best thing about Two Men in Manhattan is the late 50s Manhattan mood that it transmits, with great locations and excellent photography, and some good music. But the story is a bit weak and the pace a bit slow, with insufficient tension built up prior to it's nice finish. And the film, sound and music editing was not up to Melville's usual standards. He is a better director and writer than actor, although he scores just OK on all three counts in this film. Pierre Grasset was the only source of life in this overly subdued movie.

A French noir in Manhattan says it all

A French noir in Manhattan says it all. A lot of missed opportunities here as a journalist and drunken photographer who oozes slime set out to find a missing French diplomat who doesn't show up for a UN vote. From theater, to brothel, to strip joints and dive bars, the underbelly of the city intrigues. This was obviously a thinly disguised chance to mix jazz, NYC, noir cinematography in homage to the city. But, alas, with all the rich material, it stalls, and flounders.

I guess it's Melville's very personal tourist (and moralist) fantasy, with a rather weak excuse for a plot attached (though it finally gets interesting when they find the body). But it's much too stilted, especially in its interpersonal interactions, to be "cool" (as badly as it wants to be).
