(Weds 10th April / 8pm / £5/4)
(Samuel Fuller / 1953 / USA / 80 minutes / Rated PG)
Maverick director Samuel Fuller's gritty 1953 thriller masterfully plays out the paranoia and absurdity of the Cold War with its pawns littering the back streets of New York: pickpockets, cops, small-time hoods and tie-selling stoolies. With crackling, street-smart dialogue, Fuller's dizzying visual style and indelible performances from Richard Widmark and Thelma Ritter, this is noir at its most feverishly intense.
