All Through the Night

In the restless heart of 1940s New York, a city humming with jazz, Broadway lights, and the undercurrent of a world at war, a charismatic gambler slips between the polished veneer of nightclubs and the shadowy alleys that lie just beyond. Alfred “Gloves” Donahue is as comfortable with a deck of cards as he is with the swagger of a street‑wise raconteur, his trademark gloves a silent promise of both flair and danger. The streets pulse with a mix of humor and tension, a place where a simple misstep can echo far beyond the casino floor.

When an unexpected glitch at a favorite restaurant rattles his routine, Ma Donouey, his perceptive mother, senses that something larger is stirring beneath the surface. Her intuition pushes Gloves toward a young, enigmatic singer whose voice carries both longing and secrets. Leda Hamilton drifts into his orbit, her presence hinting at connections that thread through night‑clubs, back‑room deals, and whispers of a hidden network operating in the city’s underbelly. Their uneasy partnership becomes the film’s core, balancing sharp wit with a growing sense of urgency.

The tone folds classic noir sensibilities into a wartime backdrop, where laughter and danger coexist on the same crowded sidewalks. The world feels simultaneously glamorous and gritty, a maze of smoky lounges, bustling streets, and clandestine meetings that promise intrigue without spelling out the villains. As Gloves and his eclectic allies navigate this landscape, the story rewards curiosity, style, and the uneasy alliances forged when ordinary lives brush against an unseen, larger conspiracy.
