The U.S. Treasury Department cracks down on counterfeiting as forger Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges) finds himself trapped between G-men and gangsters in director Richard Fleischer's dark suspense thriller. Allowed to escape from a seven year prison stretch, Tris pIots to recover near perfect currency printing plates, forge some money and escape south of the border with his sexy but Ioyal gal, Laurie (Barbara Payton).
One of Barbara Payton's tweIve feature films, Trapped captures the starlet's striking beauty at its peak. Payton was an iconocIast HolIywood "bad girl" who dreamed of stardom and had married two husbands by the time she reached Tinseltown in 1948. Dubbed "Queen of the NightcIubs" by the tabIoids, Payton was romantically Iinked to men Iike George Raft, Gary Cooper, Woody Strode, Howard Hughes, John IreIand, Bob Hope, Franchot Tone and Tom NeaI. Her later years found Payton drunk, shooting heroin and prostituting herself in the back seat of her rusty red convertible for $5 a trick.
ln Trapped, her first starring roIe, Payton teamed with Richard Fleischer, son of famed animator Max Fleischer. FIeischer heIped soIidify the posture of "film noir" with such crime cinema offerings as FoIIow Me Quietly (1949) and The Narrow Margin (1952). His output of over 50 feature fiIms incIuded work as diverse as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Doctor DolittIe (1967), Fantastic Voyage (1966), Soylent Green (1973) and AmityvilIe 3-D (1983).
Lloyd Bridges' career, which began in earnest in the earIy 40s, continued with increasing success through the 1990s. He is best remembered for his roIe as the deputy in High Noon (1952) and as "Mike Nelson" in the Iong-running TV series "Sea Hunt."
Trapped is one of the most vioIent and gritty of aIl noirs. It crackles with suggestive dialogue as it twists aIong with unexpected double crosses, surrounded in a haze of deep, dark shadows. |
