City That Never Sleeps  City That Never Sleeps is a 1953 American film noir crime film directed by John H. Auer and starring Gig Young, Mala Powers, William Talman, Edward Arnold, Chill Wills, Marie Windsor, and Paula Raymond, with cinematography by John L. Russell. Johnny Kelly (Gig Young) is a Chicago cop whose father is also a police officer. He's grown tired of the job and his married life to Kathy (Paula Raymond). Haunted by echoes of his mother-in-law's scolding voice, he plans to leave his job and his wife to run away to California with exotic dancer Sally "Angel Face" Connors (Mala Powers). That night, Johnny begins his night shift with his older partner, Joe, who is proud of being a policeman. Johnny stops in at Sally's club, to tell her that he is not ready to leave for California. Sally is angry and breaks it off. Also in love with Sally is club entertainer Gregg, who mimics a "mechanical man" in the window of the club to draw people in.  Penrod Biddel (Edward Arnold), a corrupt, powerful attorney, wants to recruit Johnny to arrest and "escort" a low-life former magician and current Biddel protége, Hayes Stewart (William Talman), across the border to Indiana, where there is a warrant for his arrest. Biddel, knowing Stewart's plans to break into his safe to find documents with which to blackmail him, wishes to teach Stewart a lesson about loyalty, after which he plans to get him out of prison. Johnny doesn't want to do the job while still officially a cop, but Biddel compels him by revealing that Stubby, Johnny's brother, has become Stewart's protége, and will be with him for the break-in.  Stewart, with an enthusiastic Stubby driving, goes to Biddel's office. However, on breaking into the safe, he finds only a note from Biddel, taunting him for his foolishness. Stewart later confronts Biddel, telling him that he has gotten the documents anyway, out of his bedroom safe, revealing that Biddel's younger, beautiful wife Lydia is his accomplice. Stewart also finds out Biddel's plans for him regarding Johnny, and realizes this is a good way to get out of town – escorted by a cop. He shoots Biddel in front of Lydia, and then kills Lydia as well.
