PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953)
Monday, July 27th at 7:30 PM
Hosted by professor Foster Hirsch
Petty crook Skip McCoy (Richard Widmark) has his eyes fixed on the big score. When the cocky three-time convict picks the pocketbook of unsuspecting Candy (Jean Peters), he finds a more spectacular haul than he could have imagined: a strip of microfilm bearing confidential U.S. information. With its dazzling cast and writer-director Samuel Fuller’s signature hard-boiled repartee and raw energy, Pickup on South Street is a true film noir classic by one of America’s most passionate cinematic craftspeople. (USA, 1953, 80 mins, English | Dir. Samuel Fuller)
