Black-and-white crime movie, Two men in Manhattan recounts the notable absence of a French delegate to the United Nations who leads a journalist and photographer to criss-cross New York in search of him. From the introduction, Jean-Pierre Melville plunges us into the dark streets of New York, remarkably influenced by film noirs from across the Atlantic. Passionate about American cinema, the director draws inspiration from it to achieve the so particular style that characterizes him, and here delivers a film declaration of love.
The bewitching and mysterious atmosphere of the film is promised by the poster: in the dark night, the two men stand in front of the skyline formed by the stylized letters of "Manhattan". Manhattan" is a manhunt, a hunt for scoops, a hunt for stolen photos... Themes that will become familiar to the illustrator Georges Kerfyser who will produce a few years later the poster of Blow Up.
