Synopsis: Based on Pietro Di Donato's incendiary novel, Edward Dmytryk's Christ In Concrete blends film noir, neo-realism, and hard-hitting social criticism. Awarded top prizes at film fests across Europe, Dmytryk's Christ In Concrete is a film of extraordinary power and poignancy. Due to the Hollywood Blacklist, this film was almost totally suppressed. It has scarcely been shown at all, and never shown on TV, never released on video. Christ In Concrete was truly a lost film. Until now.
