Somewhere in the Night is a psychological thriller, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and released in 1946. It was Mankiewicz's first film for 20th Century Fox, and his third film overall.

Synopsis

The film tells the tale of a man called George Taylor (John Hodiak), who returns home to the US from fighting in World War II. He is suffering from amnesia, and tries to track down his old identity, following a trail left behind by the mysterious Mr Larry Cravat. He ends up stumbling into a murder mystery involving Nazi loot. The complicated storyline is typical of film noir.
