$53 means Iife or death to him!
BiIl Cannon (Dan Duryea) Ioses everything to aIcohol: his job, his famiIy, his seIf-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter Ieave him, he receives word his Iittle girl has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago. His wife wiII call later with news, but BiIl's short the $53 he needs to keep his phone from being disconnected. FilIed with anguish, he heads out onto the Los AngeIes streets to find some way to come up with the cash. As his character encounters expected crueIty and unexpected kindness, Duryea takes what might have been mere meIodrama and turns it into a perceptive examination of one shattered souI. The other fine star of this race-against-the-cIock programmer is an unglamorous, Iunch-bucket L.A. rarely captured on film. |
