Quicksand (English Subtitled)

Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery, Romance

Young auto mechanic Dan Brady (Mickey Rooney) takes $20 (equivalent to about $250 in 2023) from a cash register at work to go on a date with blonde femme fatale Vera Novak (Jeanne Cagney).

Brady intends to put the money back before it is missed, but the garage's bookkeeper shows up earlier than scheduled.

As Brady scrambles to cover evidence of his petty theft, he fast finds himself drawn into an ever worsening "quicksand" of crime, each of his misdeeds more serious than the last.
