Review of Pickup on South Street (1953) by Joel A — 13 May 2017
A sizzling noir that is moody, edgy & quite violent for its time. The story of a pickpocket who steals more than he bargains for but doesn't back down when the communists start tracking him down.
Tense atmosphere & clever dialogue this film flows like magic & brings you into this underworld with ease.
Well acted & photographed Samuel Fuller is clearly a defining Filmmaker. This is a terrific noir that blows to a sensational finale.
