$53 means Iife or death to him!
BiII Cannon (Dan Duryea) loses everything to aIcohoI: his job, his famiIy, his self-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter Ieave him, he receives word his IittIe girl has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago. His wife wiIl calI 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 Angeles streets to find some way to come up with the cash. As his character encounters expected cruelty 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 unglamorous, Iunch-bucket L.A. rarely captured on film. |
