An adorable adopted boy with a penchant for playing with matches sets some curtains on fire and runs away knowing he’s in for a beating. He stumbles upon a sailor whos just killed his wife’s boss, as she was two-timing him and the sailor can’t hold his temper. Thinking the kid is gonna squeal, the sailor kidnaps him and violently drags him across town in an unsettling manner.
Just go back and get his teddy you fucking handsome monster!! 😭
Luckily the sailor wises up and starts caring about the boy cuz i was about to rage. Also he changes into this amazing turtleneck and leather jacket number that is sooo good.
One of the highlights is the police team hunting them down. Its just good old fashioned gumshoe noir. It’s beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, some great 50’s dramatic wall hugging.
Fair warning- its not the ending you want.
