Part of the series "NY in Black & White, LA in Color"
From New York’s crowded sidewalks, shadowy apartments, and smoke-filled bars to Los Angeles’s highways, hills, beaches, and backlots. A short series exploring how filmmakers use composition, color, and space to convey the psychology of place.

• The film was the inspiration for a half-hour Naked City television series, which used the film's famous concluding line. The characters of Muldoon and Halloran initially returned in the series, played by John McIntire and James Franciscus. The series ran for a single season in 1958 to 1959, earning an Emmy Award nomination as Best Drama. It was resurrected in Fall 1960 as an hour-long drama, which ran from October 1960 to September 1963.[15]
• The film inspired two television films, Naked City: Justice with a Bullet and Naked City: A Killer Christmas, starring Scott Glenn as Muldoon and Courtney B. Vance as Halloran. They aired on Showtime in October and December 1998 respectively.
