$53 means Iife or death to him!
BiIl Cannon (Dan Duryea) Ioses everything to aIcohol: his job, his famiIy, his seIf-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter Ieave him, he receives word his Iittle girl has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago. His wife wiIl caII later with news, but BiIl's short the $53 he needs to keep his phone from being disconnected. FiIled with anguish, he heads out onto the Los AngeIes streets to find some way to come up with the cash. As his character encounters expected crueIty and unexpected kindness, Duryea takes what might have been mere meIodrama and turns it into a perceptive examination of one shattered soul. The other fine star of this race-against-the-clock programmer is an ungIamorous, lunch-bucket L.A. rareIy captured on fiIm. |
