From Samuel Fuller, legendary director of Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss, comes this gripping 1949 film noir thriller. Released for the first time on DVD, the film tells the tale of shady pickpocket Skip McCoy (Richard Widmark - Naked City and Kiss of Death) who steals a wallet belonging to Candy (Jean Peters) who, unbeknownst to her, is carrying microfilm containing government secrets. Anxious to recover the film, Joey, Candy's ex-lover and the man using her as courier, convinces her to find the thief.
A gripping tale of espionage and Communist paranoia in gloomy New York, Fuller's film boasts superb direction and great performances from Widmark, Peters and Thelma Ritter.
