Quicksand (1950)

Description

Quicksand is a 1950 film noir starring Mickey Rooney and Peter Lorre in a story about a garage mechanic’s descent into crime. The film has been described as “film noir in a teacup… a pretty nifty little picture” in which Rooney “cast himself against his Andy Hardy goody image.” Interestingly, Helbros produced the first electric Mickey Mouse watch around two decades later (up to then all were wind-up watches). Jimmy Dodd (who plays Buzz) was the original Mouseketeer.
