(1949) dir Richard Fleischer w/Lloyd Bridges, Barbara Payton, John Hoyt [78 min; 35mm]
T-Men investigating a flood of phony $20s spring convicted counterfeiter Tris Stewart (Bridges) from the joint to use as an undercover operative. But Tris is only stringing the Feds along until he makes a score and scoots to Mexico with his red-hot squeeze, Meg (Payton). The double- and triple- crosses come fast and furious, as no one’s sure who’s a crook and who’s a copper. A hasty and hard-edged B from director Fleischer, with exceptional camerawork by DP Guy Roe. Rescued from oblivion by the Film Noir Foundation and UCLA Film & Television Archive.
A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 9:30 PM screening of THE TURNING POINT. No additional purchase is necessary.
