Side Street is a 1950 American crime film noir/ police procedural directed by Anthony Mann.
The motion picture was filmed on location throughout New York City and culminated in one of the first modern car chases, prior to 1968's Bullitt. Much of the story is set in the vicinity of the long-demolished Third Avenue El, a favorite location of the few films made in the city during that era.
The cast features Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell for the second and last time; their earlier film was the noted noir They Live By Night (1948).
Side Street is a 1929 American Pre-Code film featuring the only screen teaming of all three Moore Brothers ( Tom, Owen, and Matt), each of them major silent film stars. George Raft also makes an uncredited appearance as a professional dancer — which Raft was at the time — dancing to the song "Take a Look at Her Now", sung by June Clyde. Side Street was directed by Malcolm St. Clair, with a screenplay by George O'Hara and Jane Murfin, based on a story by St. Clair which was adapted by John Russell.
A side street is a street that intersects a main street and ends there.
