Review of Larceny

Larceny (1948)
9/10
THE STING + Film Noir = LARCENY!
10 April 2019
Shelley Winters: "I'm sorry, Rick. What can I do to help you?"

John Payne: "Stay away from me."

Shelley Winters: "I mean besides the impossible."

A con man's seduction of a war widow is part of a larger scheme to bilk a small town out of a fortune. But not everything goes to plan.

I cannot believe this sensational vintage noir isn't better known. It's taut as a garrote, and there are twists you won't see coming.

Plus: The dialogue is great, the actors tops, and who knew Shelley Winters was such a knockout?

Catch this one!
