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".
