Quicksand (1950)



After taking 20 dollars from his employer to go on a date with plans to repay it the next day, an auto mechanic falls into increasingly disastrous circumstances for more and more money which rapidly spirals out of his control.

Doom-laden and mildly intense Noir drama with Peter Lorre stealing the show and with an ending more improbable than the twisted plot.

Maltin**1/2: "Minor film noir...Lorre is wonderfully menacing as a sleazy penny arcade owner."
