The Naked City

“Naked City. It sort of relates to stuff that I love like Sam Fuller and kind of really great B-movie stuff of the you know 40s, 50s and 60s.”

“Jules Dassin's Naked City. I use it for research because Bill Daniels drove around New York and photographed real-life people from like a window in a bread truck. You really get a sense of the day-to-day with the citizens of New York. I think I used it to research a film I designed called The Master because of what real people would be like in 1948. You see that not everybody wears hats; it's only the older ladies.”
