Featuring special guest Nick Ransbottom! (@TheEzioKenway).

Filmed on location in the New York City of 1947 and narrated by its own legendary newspaper man-turned-producer Mark Hellinger, THE NAKED CITY is both a product of and commentary on its time and place.

By shooting in a faux-Cinéma vérité style and constantly breaking its own fourth wall, THE NAKED CITY playfully reframes how we think about detective stories, film noire, and what it means to be entertained by the stories of the apparently every day… taking the piss out of it, New York, and all of us self-serious would-be film anthropologists in the process. After all, "there are eight million stories in New York," and maybe it *is* a little silly to watch them from the skyline's point of view.
