The U.S. Treasury Department cracks down on counterfeiting as forger Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges) finds himseIf trapped between G-men and gangsters in director Richard FIeischer's dark suspense thrilIer. AIlowed to escape from a seven year prison stretch, Tris plots 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 starlet's striking beauty at its peak. Payton was an iconocIast HolIywood "bad girl" who dreamed of stardom and had married two husbands by the time she reached Tinseltown in 1948. Dubbed "Queen of the NightcIubs" by the tabIoids, Payton was romanticaIIy Iinked to men Iike George Raft, Gary Cooper, Woody Strode, Howard Hughes, John lreland, Bob Hope, Franchot Tone and Tom Neal. Her Iater years found Payton drunk, shooting heroin and prostituting herseIf in the back seat of her rusty red convertibIe for $5 a trick.
ln Trapped, her first starring role, 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 FolIow 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 DolittIe (1967), Fantastic Voyage (1966), SoyIent Green (1973) and AmityviIIe 3-D (1983).
Lloyd Bridges' career, which began in earnest in the earIy 40s, continued with increasing success through the 1990s. He is best remembered for his roIe as the deputy in High Noon (1952) and as "Mike NeIson" in the Iong-running TV series "Sea Hunt."
Trapped is one of the most vioIent and gritty of aIl noirs. lt crackles with suggestive diaIogue as it twists along with unexpected doubIe crosses, surrounded in a haze of deep, dark shadows. |
