35mm print courtesy of Warner Bros Screenplay by Sydney Boehm. Naïve postman Joe Norson (Farley Granger) takes a dangerous shortcut to securing a nest egg for his pregnant wife (Cathy O’Donnell)—stealing thirty grand from the office of a shady shyster. When Joe tries to give himself up he only gets in deeper, careening for his life through the treacherous streets of Manhattan, pursued by cops and crooks at every deadly turn. A much more noir version of Naked City, with Mann pulling out all the stops, abetted by Joe Ruttenberg’s stunning location cinematography.
