...I have to make a living, just so I can die !
Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Thelma Ritter make up a great cast of a fantastic Film Noir/ Red scare movie from 1953, but Peters steals the show as a street wise sexy tramp who gets caught up unknowingly delivering top government micro film.This movie is very brutal on Peters as she is smacked around by Widmark and her boyfriend.Thelma Ritters role a the sweet old lady who pettles information to whomever is interested is one of her best !This is a fantastic movie and you cannot go wrong purchasing it !!!
