Quicksand (1950, film noir full movie - Mickey Rooney, Peter Lorre)

Rooney plays Dan Brady, a mechanic in Santa Monica. A regular guy who wants something just a little out of reach - a date with a pretty girl and a chance to feel like more than just a grease monkey. The girl's name is Vera, a seductive diner waitress played by Jeanne Cagney (yes...Jimmy’s sister), who turns out to be far more manipulative than she first appears. Dan’s descent starts with something as small as “borrowing” $20 from the shop register to impress Vera. That one choice snowballs fast...suddenly he’s tangled up in situations where each one makes you...
