Thieves' Highway
11 May 2022
Richard Conte comes back from WWII to discover his father legs have been destroyed by bad guy fruit trader Lee J Cobb whilst trying to get his money for tomatoes he's 'sold' to Cobb. Conte seeks revenge and acquires with his new partner Millard Mitchell, apples to get close to Cobb.

Film noir with a rather strange plot and set of characters Conte's character is keen for revenge but get most things wrong whilst his partner, Mitchell spends most of the film fixing his lorry whilst being chastised by a couple of clowns also out to make a profit. It does though come rather nicely together with 2 excellent scenes - one a road accident that is shocking and visibly impressive and the inevitably face off in a cafe. A bit different but nicely done for the most part.
