Review of Pickup on South Street (1953) by Ben W — 01 May 2010
One of the greatest noir films ive ever seen. absolutely nothing boring happens in this story. its compelling from opening frame to end title. not only that but the performances that sam fuller gets of these actors are some of the best of the era.
its brash, passionate, extreme in every way. richard widmark played the pickpocket to a t, but the real story is thelma ritter. few times in history have a seen a part played so well. if you havent seen a sam fuller movie, you could do worse than watching this movie.
