CrimeDramaThriller83 min
A struggling young father-to-be steals what he thinks is a modest sum from a corrupt lawyer’s office and discovers the envelope holds $30,000. Farley Granger is the anxious man at the center, trying to put the money back before anyone notices, while Cathy O’Donnell is the wife waiting for their child and unaware of how far his mistake is about to travel. Shot through New York streets around the old Third Avenue El, the story turns a single impulsive theft into a tightening chain of police scrutiny, criminal pressure, and split-second decisions.
