Plot
A young man on the run after escaping from prison falls in love with a girl, and they try to find a way out of the life of crime.
Sinekatalog’s take
Nicholas Ray's debut is a tender, doomed lovers-on-the-run noir. Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell are touching, and the film's poetic sympathy for its young criminals influenced a generation of crime cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
