The tough-sentimental hero of "Murder in the Dark" is being punished by his city desk editor with an assignment to cover a story in a provincial town far away from his beloved Copenhagen mean streets. Everything radiates idyll, but lo and behold, big-time crime is where you find it, and our friend finds plenty. A very contemporary tale and in more ways than one a film noir in colour.
