The Big Night is a 1951 American film noir directed by Joseph Losey. It features John Drew Barrymore, Preston Foster and Joan Lorring. The feature is based on a script written by Joseph Losey and Stanley Ellin, based on Ellin's 1948 novel Dreadful Summit. Hugo Butler and Ring Lardner, Jr. also contributed to the screenplay, but – owing to Lardner's Hollywood Ten conviction – were uncredited when the film was first released.
