83 minutes. New York City pickpocket and “three-time loser” Skip McCoy picks the wallet from a prostitute’s (Candy) purse without realizing who is watching or what he’s taken. Soon Skip is pursued by his police force nemesis, Capt. Tiger, federal investigators, and Communist spies. As Skip and Candy fall into a violent, untrusting love, they, along with the pathetic stool pigeon, Moe, must try to play all ends against the middle in order to escape with their lives—and a profit...
Adapted from Silver & Ward, eds. (1992) Film Noir: An Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style, 3rd Ed. Woodstock, New York: The Overlook Press.
