Kiss of Death

CrimeDramaThriller99 min

Fresh out of prison in New York City, Victor Mature is a thief trying to leave his old life behind, rebuild a home for his family, and stay clear of the district attorney pressing him for names. That plan collapses when a volatile former associate comes looking for revenge. Richard Widmark brings an unnerving streak to the criminal still circling him, while Coleen Gray figures into the fragile life he is trying to protect. Kiss of Death threads together informants, betrayal, and the pressure of a past that keeps forcing its way back into the city’s underworld.
