12.5.12

they live by night (1948)

aka The Twisted Road.
"You're still a one eyed lush and you always will be."
Three lifers escape a prison farm, including Bowie (Farley Grainger). They hole up with the brother of one of the escapees. Whilst there they are looked after by Keechie (Cathy O'Donnell). She and Bowie immediately spark off each other, and she pleads with him to ditch the others as they will drag him down, but he can't or won't...
Doomed romance of a film noir, played well by all concerned.
