Mickey Rooney stars as Dan, a mechanic who falls hard for a beautiful women he sees one day working in a coffee shop.
He finds out her name is Vera (Jeanne Cagney) and asks her for a date. She accepts and when back at work Dan finds he hasn't any money so he helps himself to 20 bucks out of the till with the intention of putting it back the next morning after he collects it from a friend.
This little act starts Dan slinding into a life of violent crime trying to support Vera and always finding out she wants more. This is a very dark and moody film that fits the noir mold.
This film is tense and it's something else to see Dan go from law abiding citizen to criminal in such a short time. I won't give too much away because I think you should see this movie.
The rest of the excellent cast include Peter Lorre, Barbara Bates, Taylor Holmes, Richard Lane and Minerva Urecal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED movie.
