The Man and His Shadow (1960)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
What man wants and what he does is not always the same. Desire and imagination have no sharp contours, a shadow that breaks on the edges and disappears or slides down the sidewalk. It could be that a man goes into the fight with his shadow, that he wants to get rid of it, run away from it or destroy it, but left without his other self, he will be one-sided.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
