Screenwriter Stirling Silliphant (working from a story by David Goodis) makes good use of flashbacks to unveil Ray&#8217;s story, gradually revealing why he chooses to stay on the lam rather than go to the police. The snowy climax in Wyoming brings this enjoyable yarn to a tense and dramatic end. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aldo Ray as the falsely accused fugitive<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-1024x558.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"349\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-1024x558.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-128x70.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-1536x837.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2-495x270.png 495w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Ray2.png 1829w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Anne Bancroft as Ray&#8217;s new girlfriend: &#8220;You&#8217;re the most wanted man I know.&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-1024x561.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"351\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-128x70.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-1536x841.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft-493x270.png 493w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Bancroft.png 1835w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-1024x563.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-128x70.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-768x423.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-1536x845.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography-491x270.png 491w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Cinematography.png 1823w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The snowy climax<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-1024x556.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-1024x556.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-128x69.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-768x417.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-1536x833.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy-498x270.png 498w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/Nightfall-Snowy.png 1819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
