Dark City is a 1950 film noir. The casting of Charlton Heston—in his first film appearance—as a petty hood is unusual in light of his subsequent career. Another notable aspect of this film's casting is the (coincidental) fact that Jack Webb and Harry Morgan went on to co-star in television's Dragnet. The musical score is by Franz Waxman.[1]
