Sam Hamm on “Pickup On South Street”

Trailer 663 of 894
FBI director J Edgar Hoover personally told director Sam Fuller how much he hated his films, especially this one, in which pickpocket Richard Widmark exhibits no particular patriotism while dealing with vicious Communist spies. Nevertheless his brutal noir classic has survived to become one of the director's most revered films. Fox contractee Thelma Ritter was nominated as best supporting actress for the role of a lifetime, which she should have won.

The film blew my everlovin' teenage mind at the time, and I've been lucky enough to see it in a theatre a few times since then, and it never fails to suck me into its descent into madness...
