Raw Deal 1948
Joe Sullivan (Dennis
O'Keefe) is itching to get out of prison. He's taken the rap for Rick (Raymond
Burr - I always love him as a bad guy), who owes him $50 Grand. Rick sets up an
escape for Joe, knowing that Joe will be caught escaping and be shot or locked
away forever. But with the help of his love-struck girl Pat and his sympathetic
legal caseworker Ann (Marsha Hunt), Joe gets further than he's supposed to, and
we are posed with two very important questions: Is Joe really the cold and
heartless criminal he appears to be, or is there a heart of gold under that
gritty exterior? And does Joe belong with the tough, street-wise Pat (Claire
Trevor), or with the prim, moralizing Ann? |
