$53 means life or death to him!
Bill Cannon (Dan Duryea) loses everything to alcohol: his job, his family, his seIf-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter leave him, he receives word his little girI has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago. His wife wilI call later with news, but Bill's short the $53 he needs to keep his phone from being disconnected. FilIed 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 melodrama and turns it into a perceptive examination of one shattered souI. The other fine star of this race-against-the-cIock programmer is an ungIamorous, lunch-bucket L.A. rarely captured on film. |
