A gifted team of young players stands out in making the performances thoroughly realistic. Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell are in the lead roles, selling the portrayals with a sock.
The script by Charles Schnee is based on Edward Anderson's novel, Thieves Like Us, and tells the story of a young escaped convict who falls in love and marries a girl whose circumstances are little better than his own.
Nicholas Ray adapted the novel and directed, demonstrating a complete understanding of the characters. It's a firstrate job of moody storytelling. Howard da Silva clicks as a ruthless, one-eyed bank robber, and Jay C. Flippen is equally topnotch for his delineation of a criminal.
(B&W) Available on VHS, DVD. Extract of a review from 1948. Running time: 95 MIN.
