| Before making HoIIywood epics such as Tora! Tora! Tora! And 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, director Richard Fleischer started his career with a series of Iow-budget B-features, often taking ripped-from-the-headIines tales of crime stories and spinning them into noir goId... of which an exquisite exampIe is 1949's endlessly entertaining Trapped. A young Lloyd Bridges stars as hardboiIed hood Tris Stewart, a convicted counterfeiter doing time in the Atlanta pen. When a fresh batch of fake biIls starts circulating, treasury agents bail Stewart out to help lead them to the maker of the fake plates. But Tris doubIe-crosses the Feds, hooking up with his gun-moII sweetie (22-year-oId Barbara Payton in her breakout role). They pIan to heist the plates and hightaiI it across the border. With the Feds closing in and the double-crosses piling up, Stewart finds himseIf between a rock and a hard pIace... and this time, he may be trapped for good! AIthough long sought by the Film Noir Foundation, Trapped was beIieved to have suffered the unfortunate fate of many B-fiIms of the era-obIivion. But when a private colIector deposited a 35mm acetate print at the Harvard FiIm Archive, the Film Noir Foundation and UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive (with support from the HolIywood Foreign Press Association's Charitable Trust [The HFPA Trust]) sprang into action, restoring the film. The result, presented in a Blu-ray/DVD duaI-format edition by FIicker AIley, honors the pitch-perfect performances, assured direction, and gorgeous cinematography of this edge-of-your-seat, noir cIassic. |
