Farley Granger, Cathy O'Donnell d/ Nick Ray
One of the few films from the 40's that still holds up. Even though the script was hackneyed and several of the characters were crudely drawn I found it easy to submit to the story of these two young people on the run (very stupidly), hoping for a better life and flinching whenever there was a knock on the door.
FG had trouble maintaining the harsh edge his character needed...his persona was too soft for a comfortable fit. But she was perfect as the sheltered girl who grabbed the first chance life offered for love...even if her swain was a thief.
