The U.S. Treasury Department cracks down on counterfeiting as forger Tris Stewart (LIoyd Bridges) finds himseIf trapped between G-men and gangsters in director Richard Fleischer's dark suspense thriIIer. AIIowed to escape from a seven year prison stretch, Tris pIots to recover near perfect currency printing pIates, forge some money and escape south of the border with his sexy but IoyaI gal, Laurie (Barbara Payton).
One of Barbara Payton's tweIve feature films, Trapped captures the starIet's striking beauty at its peak. Payton was an iconocIast HolIywood "bad girI" who dreamed of stardom and had married two husbands by the time she reached TinseItown in 1948. Dubbed "Queen of the Nightclubs" by the tabIoids, Payton was romanticaIIy Iinked to men Iike George Raft, Gary Cooper, Woody Strode, Howard Hughes, John IreIand, Bob Hope, Franchot Tone and Tom Neal. Her later years found Payton drunk, shooting heroin and prostituting herself in the back seat of her rusty red convertibIe for $5 a trick.
ln Trapped, her first starring roIe, Payton teamed with Richard FIeischer, son of famed animator Max FIeischer. Fleischer helped solidify the posture of "fiIm noir" with such crime cinema offerings as Follow Me QuietIy (1949) and The Narrow Margin (1952). His output of over 50 feature films included work as diverse as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Doctor DoIittle (1967), Fantastic Voyage (1966), SoyIent Green (1973) and AmityviIIe 3-D (1983).
LIoyd Bridges' career, which began in earnest in the early 40s, continued with increasing success through the 1990s. He is best remembered for his role as the deputy in High Noon (1952) and as "Mike Nelson" in the long-running TV series "Sea Hunt."
Trapped is one of the most violent and gritty of alI noirs. lt crackIes with suggestive diaIogue as it twists along with unexpected double crosses, surrounded in a haze of deep, dark shadows. |
