Thieves Highway (1949)
Starring: Richard Conte - Valentina Cortese
The San Francisco produce racket provides an unusual backdrop for the noir crime
thriller THIEVES' HIGHWAY. Truck Driver Nick Garcos (Richard Conte) returns home intent
on marrying his sweetheart, only to discover that his father has been crippled in a
dispute with ruthless gangster Mike Figlia (Lee J. Cobb). To enact his revenge, Nick
becomes part of Mike's racketeering and smuggling ring, hoping to expose the
gangster's cheating ways to his associates and underlings from the inside. However, as
he plunges further and further into the underworld, he runs the risk of losing the happy
future he looked forward to when he first returned home. THIEVES' HIGHWAY was the
final film completed in the United States by respected crime director Jules Dassin, who
was blacklisted only to find greater success in France with films like RIFIFI.
