Plot Summary:
"The Sleeping City" is a crime drama that unfolds in a New York City hospital known as Bellevue Hospital. The story revolves around a murder investigation that takes place within the hospital's walls.
The central character is a detective named Fred Rowan, portrayed by Richard Conte. Rowan is undercover as an intern at Bellevue Hospital, investigating the suspicious death of a fellow detective who had been assigned to the same undercover operation. The deceased detective was found dead in his hospital bed with a mysterious injection mark on his arm.
As Rowan delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers a complex web of intrigue and corruption within the hospital. He becomes suspicious of several hospital staff members, including nurses and doctors, who may be involved in illegal activities.
Rowan's investigation leads him to uncover a drug smuggling operation operating from within the hospital. The criminals are using the hospital's access to transport narcotics, and Rowan must navigate the treacherous world of organized crime and hospital politics to expose the truth.
The film's tension escalates as Rowan becomes a target himself, and he must race against time to solve the case and bring the culprits to justice. The hospital's nighttime setting adds to the film's noir atmosphere and sense of danger.
Richard Conte delivers a strong performance as the determined and resourceful detective Rowan. The film also features supporting roles from actors such as Coleen Gray, Richard Taber, and Alex Nicol.
"The Sleeping City" is known for its moody and atmospheric cinematography, which captures the dark and shadowy interiors of the hospital. The film effectively conveys a sense of paranoia and suspense, typical of the film noir genre.
While "The Sleeping City" may not be as widely recognized as some other film noirs of its era, it is appreciated for its gripping plot, tense atmosphere, and the compelling performance of Richard Conte. It remains a notable entry in the genre, offering a unique setting within the world of crime and suspense.
