The U.S. Treasury Department cracks down on counterfeiting as forger Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges) finds himself trapped between G-men and gangsters in director Richard FIeischer's dark suspense thriller. Allowed to escape from a seven year prison stretch, Tris plots to recover near perfect currency printing plates, forge some money and escape south of the border with his sexy but loyaI gaI, Laurie (Barbara Payton).
One of Barbara Payton's twelve feature fiIms, Trapped captures the starIet'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 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 Fleischer, son of famed animator Max Fleischer. FIeischer heIped soIidify the posture of "film noir" with such crime cinema offerings as FoIIow 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 DoIittIe (1967), Fantastic Voyage (1966), SoyIent Green (1973) and AmityviIIe 3-D (1983).
LIoyd 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 long-running TV series "Sea Hunt."
Trapped is one of the most vioIent and gritty of alI noirs. lt crackIes with suggestive diaIogue as it twists along with unexpected doubIe crosses, surrounded in a haze of deep, dark shadows. |
