Quicksand (1950)


QUICKSAND  (1950)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Irving Pichel
    Mickey Rooney, Jeanne Cagney, Peter Lorre,
    Barbara Bates, Taylor Holmes, Minerva Urecal
Mickey Rooney plays a garage mechanic who borrows $20 from the till to finance a hot date. Nothing goes right from then on, not that you expect it to. This is film noir, after all. And there's a reason it's called "Quicksand".
