ABOUT THE FILM:
Originally released May 21, 1948
“I want to breathe… all I want is a breath of fresh air,” croaks jailbird/hero Dennis O’Keefe, just before he busts out of prison—to find himself chased by the cops and his former gang, led by a double-crossing and downright sadistic Raymond Burr. Good-girl social worker Marsha Hunt and bad-girl gun moll Claire Trevor duke it out for the soul of this vengeful homme fatal in a rambunctious road movie that Eddie Muller, paraphrasing Nick Lowe, calls “Pure Pulp for Noir People,” or, even more tersely, “Noirvana.” Featuring some of the most stunning camerawork in the the career of legendary cinematographer John Alton. Trevor provides the urgent, breathlessly whispered voiceover narration, one of the genre’s best—which could apply to virtually every aspect of this exceptional film.
