The granddaddy of all contagion-themed thrillers, Elia Kazan’s Panic in the Streets really shows how it should be done. Filmed in a noir style with a superb handful of actors and on location in New Orleans when that was the exception rather than the rule, Panic in the Streets slowly twists the tension-knife in a spellbinding pseudo-documentary style that makes it seem really true-to-life. The film holds up well today, too: a sure sign of its intrinsic quality.
